About Me

Born oct 1975 and raised in Delsbo, Sweden. I started playing guitar at the age of six. My father, who was a great guitarist, taught me my first chords. After I learned G, D, C and Ami, the joyride started and I've played every day ever since. (With the exeption of 2 month with a broken arm, back in 86) I guess Im quite tricky to lable as Im into a lot of styles... These days I play everykind of venue, from private partys to festivals and TV-shows. From 2001 until 30/10 2007, when I was kicked out, I toured with the great swedish folkrockband "Perssons Pack". These days I play in several different bands, but my main acts are THE ERiK B EXPLOSiVE 3, HANK LENNART & THE SENTIMENTAL COWBOYS and the swedish/german mexo/tripa-billy band THE VENOMOUS VICE QUEENS, in witch a play mostly lapsteel. Great fun! I love playing my own songs at acoustic sologigs, but then again...whipping a stratocaster at a bikerparty, thats also me. Scizo? Yes I am. - And I am to! And me as well! I've been fortunate to play with a lot of great musicians and bands through the years. On the road, hosting gueststars, in session or just jamming... Name drop: Eric Bazilian, Elmore James JR, Clas Yngström & Sky High, Lars Winnerbäck, Carl Mann, Dregen, Jakob Hellman, Alan Haynes, Niclas Frisk, Diamond Dogs, Jan Johansen, Monica Törnell, Rayburn Anthony, Marit Bergman, Ewert Ljusberg, Anna Stadling, Sven Zetterberg, Tommy Nilsson, Lalla Hansson, Pernilla Andersson, Conny Bloom, Mikael Rickfors, Mats Rådberg, Tomas Andersson Wij, Little Gerhard, Staffan Hellstrand, Peter Jezewski, Pelle Lindström, Cecilia & The Happy Happies, Jump 4 Joy, Sigge Hill, Babylon Bombs... among others...

Hey there Delilah

Visst, jag är en sucker för sentimentala, akustiska ballader. Får inte nog av sånna... McCartney har rätt; "Some people want to fill the world with silly lovesongs, what´s wrong with that?" Droppade e...

Vet att jag inte är ensam om det här, men det är lika fascinerande år efter år... Jag gillar hösten på nå vis. Gillar absolut inte vintern. Har därför ett komplicerat förhållningssätt till hösten, men...
