Here is a video of my tune "Isolation Song", recorded in Stockholm, Sweden in February in an all-analogue studio with French artist Marjolaine on accordion and backing vocals (and my brother Valter on percussion and Sebastian Berghult on double bass).

Hi folks! Last weekend I tried out an old composition of mine called "Dusk Dawn" (written on piano back in 2005) on my baritone Weissenborn - I recorded it (added some electric lap steel too), uploaded it to youtube (along with a little picture slideshow) to see what people thought of it. The response has been very positive so it will definitely go on the album. :-) Here it is (an unmastered rough mix):
I hope you will enjoy it! Fred
Just wanted to share a song that will be on my upcoming album from a very enjoyable gig last night in Brighton with The Adventurists. We all got together the night before the gig, and learned a couple of each others tunes - it all felt really fresh and was a lot of fun! The tune is called "Nattlunk".
This weekend I listened to some recordings of songs I wrote for my old band on "normal" guitar, before I started playing lap steel. I tried out one tune called "Not Tonight" on my baritone Weissenborn, and made a recording/youtube video to see what people think of it. I am considering including it on the album I'm making, and I would love to hear what you think of it. Here is the video:
Well, my album recordings are taking longer than planned - it will probably not be ready until February or something like that. But I thought I'd show some samples of the album-in-progress here, so I have added a rough mix of the tune "The Jolly Baker of Aachen" on the music page, recorded last month with Sam Walker on drums. Comments and feedback would be much appreciated - I will leave it there for a month or so and then add new tunes up until when the album is ready.
Welcome to my new website! I will make some design changes here in the future when time allows but for now, at least I have a home!
I am currently recording my first lap sliding full-length CD, called "Hedgehogs & Elephants". A couple of tracks done so far, plenty of work left to do. I hope to have it ready by December. Please sign up for the mailing list and/or check back here every now and then for news on this. It will be for sale here on this site when it's available.
All the best, Fred
