Rio Grande

About Me

Rio Grande plays country & western with a genuine twang, presenting swinging classics from the old magic hands of Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson etc - as well as selfpenned southern tunes and songs telling twisted stories of beautiful women, hillbilly barn dances, fatal love, beer drinkin’, rednecks and much more.Lead singer Kristian has travelled extensively in the USA and returned bursting with inspiration from the vibrant American country and western scene to start Rio Grande.Today Rio Grande has 7 members playing a variety of instruments such as fiddle, banjo, mandolin and pedal steel.Rio Grande has supported Kris Kristofferson and Dolly Parton and has performed several times at the most significant country festival in Scandinavia.Performing live, Rio Grande plays their music with lots of energy and humor for your listenin' and dancin' pleasure.With the album “Southern parts of my country”, Rio Grande was nominated for ‘Best Country Album of the Year’ at The Danish Music Awards.Their second album “Jealousy and a Shotgun” was produced by the experienced Kent Olsen, who has worked with Giant Sand.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Rio Grande plays live
