Biography in English:
The snger/songwriter Elias was the lead figure in the band Elias and the Wizzkids. They released two albums (2007 and 2010, and a third album 2020.  The music was rooted in indierock, American folk and British melodies, and they where known to be a strong live act. But before that, Elias could be seen playing alone with a suitcase as a kickdrum, a tamburine on the left foot, guitar and a harmonica in a holder round the neck. During those years he called himself Elias One Man Band.

After Elias and the Wizzkids decided to end the band, Elias was exploring new forms in which to perform his new music, but it was hard to find musicians that was both good enough, and that had the time and dedication that is needed to make something great. Frustrated over this deadlook situation he took his old suitcase-kickdrum from the attic and started to experiment with the old one-man-band-concept. And it was just like when two old friends meet after a longer time apart. It felt so natural and it was as if they had always been together. The new songs fit like a glove in the one man band.

Elias One Man Band is resurrected from the dead. Upgraded to version 2.0 with a kickdrum, pedaldriven snaredrum, 12-stringed guitars and a brand new repertoire.

- To play as a one man band is fantastic. Every sound is created in the moment and I got full control over the dynamic and the tempo.
