Upcoming Ohio dates and Scene magazine!

Clevescene recommends my gig at the Spider

I’m in the Buckeye state! That’s Ohio for all of you who are not familiar with this somewhat weird nick name. I actually had to look up what it means and here’s what I found out. Not only did the state have a lot of Buckeye trees but William Henry Harrison who ran for president in 1840 used a log cabin made out of buckeye wood his trademark and the name of the tree itself comes from the markings on the nut that resembles the eye of a buck, the Indians called it “hetuck” or “buckeye.” So that’s today’s history lession for you. Now, let’s focus on what’s yet to come!

I’m doing a bunch of gigs here in the Buckeye state and I hope to see you there of course! Here’s all upcoming Ohio dates:

Monday, 07/09    Cleveland, OH    Barking Spider Tavern
Wednesday, 07/11    Akron, OH    Acoustix Cafe
Thursday, 07/12    Akron, OH    Annabells Bar and Lounge
Friday, 07/13    Columbus, OH    Woodland Tavern
Tuesday, 07/17    Cincinnati, OH    Sitwell’s Coffee House
Wednesday, 07/18    Cincinnati, OH    Mayday Northside
Thursday, 07/19    Dayton, OH    South Park Tavern

Cleveland’s Scene Magazine hooked up with me a while ago to pick my brains about the gigs here in Cleveland and you can read all about it here!

Folking in Memphis

Last week I attended the Folk Alliance International Conference in Memphis, TN.

I spent a few hectic days attending seminars, networking and playing showcases. It was a lot of fun and we met a bunch of great people there that I hope to reconnect with further down the road. It was interesting to be totally surrounded by folkies for a while. I’ve always counted myself into the genre but haven’t quite been part of the scene if you know what I mean. Folk – being such a small genre in Sweden, I’ve always been a part of the pop scene anyway and that’s what I know so it was cool to see how the folk sceene thrives in the US.

Jonas took a bunch of pictures from the conference and you can see a selection here!
Feel free to tag yourself if you find yourself in any of the pictures.

I’ve been down with the flu for a week now, there were a lot of bugs circulating in the AC system at the hotel those days and I’ve heard a lot of attendees got sick. I’m glad to be (almost) well again though as I have some great gigs in Texas ahead of me.

Here’s the ones ahead:

Wednesday, 03/07 Lindale, TX Art of Coffee

Thursday, 03/08 Texarkana, AR Hopkins Icehouse

Friday, 03/09 Dallas, TX Opening Bell Coffee

Saturday, 03/10 San Antonio, TX G.I.G On The Strip
