About Me

Torbjörn "T-Bear" Solberg and Jan Lillsäter had been playing together in a Texas Shuffle trio for about 10years, when T-Bear came up with the idea of starting a band with a horn section. The band was formed in spring 2004 and had their first gig just before Christmas the same year.The following year the band continued doing gigs, writing some new songs and saving up money for a CD production.In the mid summer 2006 T-Bear&the Dukes hired one of the Swedish Radios mobile studios and recorded "Let The Sweet Talk Flow" in a church-house outside of their hometown...El Toro Records is proud to present one of the best R&B bands coming from Sweden in the new century! Don’t miss it! Those cats come from the cold Sweden to warm up the dance floors around the globe, their first CD is full of great R&B sounds from the 50’s and 60’s era
