Upcoming!

My upcoming CD "Romans i moll" Release December 17 at "Stallet" in Stockholm. 


Folk songs are so richly ornamented and colourful, they have so many nooks and crannies. Truthes, nonsenses and words of wisdom melt together with melodies that wind through shifting landscapes. It is impossible to guess what lies around the next corner, a dizzying precipice, a tranquil lake or a cobbled street. The songs live their own lives, change form and renew themselves. On this album I have collected a bouquet of my favourite songs – from as scattered places as Äppelbo, Ovansjö, Borgå, the Western Isles, Bykle, Leicester… But don’t be surprised if they are all about the most important thing in life…love.
