James bar Bowen:"I am an acoustic folk-punk singer-songwriter, guitarist and story-teller. I have performed my songs all over the world (as far away as New Zealand, as near to home as my living room in the North of England). I play mostly my own self-penned songs, and also run songwriting and performance workshops. As a political poet and songwriter, I engage with many big political issues (migration, racism, climate change, gentrification, economic injustice) as well as more personal and individual perspectives on life, love and language. I perform with passion, humour, fury and a wry smile, always seeking to engage audiences old and new with what are essentially original and varied folksongs performed with a punk rock attitude. When possible, I also play gigs and record with other musicians (bass, percussion, mandolin, fiddle, accordion, trumpet, flugelhorn, euphonium, etc.)"
Jonas Selander:
”Jonas Selander comes from Sweden strumming a punk sounding acoustic guitar. In his songs you can find lyrical content that seems to be taken from a diary, telling stories about love, missing friends, camping trips, raving in a forest, historical postcards, never meeting Jesus and badgers ruling the streets at night.” /Roberto Andrés
"Jonas sings catchy summer night anthems with strong political messages. But not just that he sings about the joys of being a father, escaping the difficulties that ordinary folk come across everyday day and he has some amazing lyrics and a very unique singing voice which makes the music just shine in the summer sun. Listen to him, learn his songs and spread them around THE WORLD NEEDS TO HEAR HIS WORDS!" /José Varela
”En sjelden gang får du en opplevelse du bare vet du kommer til å huske resten av livet med fryd. Å se en svensk redneck-visesanger med skramlepunk-komp og smurfestemme, er en sånn opplevelse. Når han dessuten varter opp med subtile politiske eller absurde budskap er Jonas Selander uten tvil den beste i sin sjanger. Muligens også den eneste.” /Alex Sen
