DISCOGRAPHY:Legendary Swedish guitarplayer? Well…–––––––––––––––––†“–––––––––––––––––––†“–––––––––––––––––––†“–––––––––––––––––Through the years I've found great interest in learning the techniques of playing lapsteel and dobro and if you've heard the current single by REDNEX, "Anyway you want me", you know how far I,ve come...–––––––––––––––––†“–––––––––––––––––––†“–––––––––––––––––––†“–––––––––––––––––Last year was a great year for me and I was lucky to be involved in the making of "Leende guldbruna ögon", a TV-drama about rasism and music with fakeband "Lennartz" headlining. The serie grew extremly popular and during the 2007 summer tour you could see "Lennart" guesting some of the gigs I was doing with JOYRIDE.–––––––––––––––––⠀“–––––––––––––––––––⠀“–––––––––––––––––––⠀“–––––––––––––––––Apart from playing guitar I've tried to learn the skills of songwriting and had the great opportunity to write part of the soundtrack for the film "Grabben i graven bredvid" in 2002.––––––––––––––––––⠀“–––––––––––––––––––⠀“–––––––––––––––––––⠀“––––––––––––––––In 1998 my band JOYRIDE got a Grammy Award for the album "Godmorgon världen" and two years later I was voted "Guitarist of the year" at a performance in Malung.–––––––––––––––––†“–––––––––––––––––––†“–––––––––––––––––––†“–––––––––––––––––The biggest egotrip of all was made in 1984; my first soloalbum. Great of course!–––––––––––––––––†“–––––––––––––––––––†“–––––––––––––––––––†“–––––––––––––––––Formed STRIX in 1974, backing group of Swedish superstar MAGNUS UGGLA. The band lasted for ten years with a change of name to STRIX Q when UGGLA left early 1978. We released several singles and four albums. Ingmar Bergman was walking by the studio one day and liked what he heard so much that he used a couple of our songs as the score music to his great film about FÃ¥rö. When the group disbanded 1983, we were invited to do a last tour with UGGLA, which we did and then never played together until the reunion gig at Akkurat in March 2007.––––––––––––––––––⠀“–––––––––––––––––––⠀“–––––––––––––––––––⠀“––––––––––––––––My very first recordings was made with the band UPPÃ…T VÄGGARNA back in 1971. The single is now a prog-cult-collectors-item. –––––––––––––––––––– –––––––––––––––––––– –––––––––––––––––––– –––––––––––––––Spent my life constantly on the road or in the studio, working with a wide range of artists such as Boney M, Robert Wells, Jan Johansen, Siw Malmkvist, Jonas Gardell and Steve Gibbons.–––––––––––––––––⠀“–––––––––––––––––––⠀“–––––––––––––––––––⠀“–––––––––––––––––My 2008 schedule is more or less empty.
