I visited the podcast “Just Plain Folk” up in the Cleveland, OH area last month and now the show is alive and kicking and you can listen to it here!
Just Plain Folk out now!
With love from Illinois
I had a great time in Illinois and did a lot of radio and interviews. Here’s a few of them.

Drivin’ & Dreaming to Chicago
This Thursday I was invited to play at the Swedish American Museum in Chicago. What a great night it turned out to be. I’ve played at the museum once before, when I was on my Lollapalooza tour in 2008 so it was a real treat to be invited back. There were over 120 people in the audience and we had a very nice VIP reception before the show.
Many thanks to Karin Moen Abercrombie and the other board members of the Swedish American Museum for a wonderful night, and to Konstnärsnämnden for supporting as well.
Here’s some pictures from the show. You can see the full album here!
