About Me

I was born in Piteå 1962 and have lived here ever since. Blues has always been my favorite music but I also like to play Rock, Soul, Country and Reggae. I've played guitar since 1975 and with bands since 1980. In 1987 "Ramblin Minds" saw the light of day and has been my main band ever since. We have recorded two CDs under our own name and two with Swedish comedian and singer Ronny Eriksson. We started playing with Ronny in 1994 and were his houseband in two TV-series "Ronny Eriksson Show" and "Lid i natt". We toured a lot in Sweden with him for a couple of years and did a lot of TV and Radioshows. Before and after the years with Ronny we also have toured a lot on our own all over Sweden, Norway and Finland. Since 1990 I have been a teacher at a Musicuniversity here in Piteå. Working as a musicteacher makes it possible for me to meet and play with wonderful people who share my passion for music. My philosophy as a teacher is to play as much as possible with my students so they can see and hear how I approach music and not just tell them how they should do. And of course do I learn a lot from them. On this page I intend to share some of the music I've recorded through the years and place info about upcoming shows and of course to meet new friends. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
