I spend my days in the valley

About Me

I started out, playing American Folk with my neighbor/friend Anders and my brother Johan. We played Kingston Trio covers mainly, and did some shows at the "student nations" in Uppsala. This was '94-'96, so Anders and I were quite young (15/13), and pretty cute I guess. I wrote music and sang in Crater 98-2001: "Dream Steam" (2000), "It Takes Two to Fugue" (2000), and in Tumbleweed 2001-04: "Tumbleweed" (2002) and the 'post mortem' "Peace Conference" (2006). My solo records so far are: "The Time That Was Mine" (2003), "Everywhere You've Been" (2004), "Minor Words" (2005), "Mine Now" (2006). I'm currently playing guitars and piano/organ with Jackdaw, and will continue my solo work. On "Mine Now" I play all the intruments (hurray for me!) except the fiddle, which is played by my brother Johan.
