Jesper Lindell releases new track and embarks on European tour

At the age of 13, Jesper Lindell was the most talented football (soccer that is) player in his hometown Ludvika, a Swedish working-class town a couple of hours northwest of Stockholm. During a game disaster strikes, Jesper breaks a leg and is confined to his boy room and a wheelchair. His big brother Anton tries to cheer him up with an acoustic guitar and teaches him a few chords. Once he’s recovered, Jesper decides to give up football to focus on music. He starts a band, and the football pitch is replaced by a rehearsal room. This episode teaches Jesper two things. The basics of music and that it’s possible to turn adversity into something good.

Fast forward to 2024: the release of his third full length album Before The Sun, on GG Records/Border. Jesper Lindell is well on his way to establishing himself as a major player from the Scandinavian music scene. The album was heralded by critics as well as fans and spent many weeks in the top 10 of the Swedish sales charts. Jesper and his band Brunnsvik Sounds have been touring relentlessly in Scandinavia and the US including dates with country star Morgan Wade. But now it's time for a European tour, including these Dutch dates:

01/11: Amen, NL - Cultureel Café de Amer
02/11: Groningen, NL - Take Root
07/11: Leiden, NL - Q-Bus
10/11: Apeldoorn, NL - Gigant

Last week Jesper Lindell released a new track Sweetheart Like You:

Jesper on Sweetheart Like You: " It has always been a standout track for me from Bob Dylan’s Infidels, and it’s easily one of my all-time favorites from his entire catalog. Recording our version was an absolute joy, and we aimed to give it a more grounded, earthy feel—which I think we achieved. I truly hope you enjoy it as much as I do."
