Johan Eliasson
Im a singer/songwriter, plays guitar.
Lately its been a constant travelling around to do gigs, solo and in bands.
A highlight so far is me playing in front of nearly one million people in Swedish national television!! That was something extraordinary..
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Im on my own now.. Sometimes I ask my friends to join me and form the band Heart & Soul..!!
I keep my music acoustic, the sound of these instruments warms my soul!!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, as often as I can!
Theres nothin better than playin in front of an audience that likes the music from my heart & soul.. A great feeling!
Your musical influences
A whole bunch of people, for example: Eric Bibb, Lyle Lovett, Jackson Browne, Kelly Joe Phelps, and of course all of the old bluesmasters!
Even David Coverdale from White Snake!! Love his voice!!
What equipment do you use?
I mostly go for the acoustic sound! A broad variety of acoustics makes the sound of my songs!!
I have recorded all tracks in my own studio, a nice little thing with a 16 track tape recorder!!
Works great and sounds genuine..!!
Anything else?
Some words said about me in the press:
"Emotional and bare with Johan Eliasson." (Länstidningen)
"Eliasson has a colourfull and emotional voice, like a smooth bourgogne with a certain roughness. " (LT)
"His greatest power lies within his nuanced voice. " (LT)
"With the right musicians around him, Eliasson will go far! Heart and soul is in his music." (Östersunds Posten)
