I know, I know...long time overdue. I should have sat myself down and started this log right after we

had finished the UK tour in November, but time just would´nt permit it! I have been...eeeerm..busy! 

When not touring, I am since a year back working hard on a solo album, and it is coming along nicely. Got the Hackett band onboard as well as other fabulous musicians from the global prog family. I handle most of the vocals, guitars and keyboards myself, but also I have my dear friend Jade Ell back in the fold, adding a little feminie colouring with her warm alto voice.

 

Having done approx. 140 shows with Steve and his fantastic band now, I feel I have grown with the task; call it - matured. The voice is 10 times stronger than when I started out in March 2013, and thank God for that. I have witnessed countless of singers straining their voices and at the end of the tour

having no voice left at all. Never strain - just fill your lungs with air to support the diafram, minimum of let out and just open up your throat and go for it. And I´ve been blessed - not one cold since we did La Mirada, Los Angeles April 1, 2013. That is still my biggest fear, not to be able to sing! 

Anyhow, to cut a long story short - after 12 shows in the UK and another 21 in the US/Canada between Oct 21 - Dec 11, I landed at home to reunite with Skrut in the fairytale land "Uttran",

Stockholm. It felt so good just to be able to relax at home for a couple of days and get rid of the

jetlag. Here are some random pictures from the road. Enjoy!
