About the artist
Swedish singer-songwriter Jesper Lindell was on course to become a professional soccer player until he broke his leg at age 13. Trying to cheer him up, his brother passed him an acoustic guitar, taught him a few chords, and changed his life without realising it yet. These days, Lindell has three albums to his name; the latest, Before The Sun, was released in 2024. Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant called the record “a crackling acoustic feast full of soothing arrangements, from brass instruments to bar pianos, steaming organs, accordions and the occasional violin.” With influences such as The Band and Van Morrison, Lindell’s music contains elements of soul, folk, country, bluegrass, honky-tonk and more. His music has been called Swedish Americana as well. But whatever label you want to put on it, our advice is just to go see him live… and enjoy.
