Melodic Rock from Sweden.

Album "Connected" is out  on AOR Heaven.

This is my playground. I'm open for all kinds of collabs, both as a songwriter, producer or musician.

Kalle Bergdahl has been a familiar face in his hometown music scene for many years. But it is only now that he gives out music entirely in his own name. The first single “Roadhouse” will be released on the 26th of February and will be followed by another, "The Rafter", in March. The debut album "Under The Gun" will be released in April.

Punk, garage rock and pop bands marked the teenage years. But it was first as the artistic alter ego "Lai North", he found a creative valve that felt right. It was then about stripped-down music in a classical singer/songwriter style. He released the EP "Burning Fort" in 2013 and toured extensively.

He now wants to continue building on what he started as Lai North, but as Kalle Bergdahl he wants to do everything bigger, more beautiful and grand.

-	If we were to compare it's now more about Springsteen, Pearl Jam and U2, he says.

Kalle Bergdahl was born just south of Stockholm in 1985, but soon moved further north. There he developed a big love and a strong relationship with nature. He got an education and trained and worked as a wilderness and fishing guide in the Scandinavian mountains. He took the opportunity to travel to different parts of the world in the low season.

-	The album is very much about restlessness, which is the general feeling. I’m always on the run, on my way to something. Except when I write or play. And when I go fishing. Then I’m calm. 

It's music to let the soul rest in, gently undulated and with clear, distinct melodies. Kalle Bergdahl´s voice spans between the powerful and the restrained.

“Under The Gun” was recorded in the fall of 2015 in Boomtown Studios in Borlänge and Gamla Elverket as well as Bergstenska Art Collective in Falun, in the Dalarna region of Sweden. 
Kalle Bergdahl stands for production itself and he has worked with recording engineer Erik Berglund (Good Harvest, David Rönnegård). The album is mixed by Jakob Grundtman (Daniel Norgren, The Tallest Man on Earth).

Over the course of four stunning and original albums Ann Scott has been steadily establishing herself as one of the most courageous songwriters on the Irish scene. Her fifth studio album, Lily, is out on April 2nd.

Presiding over a range of left-field guitars, newfangled synths and caveman percussion, Scott sings in a cracked alto with ‘dreamlike, enigmatic lyrics, deadpan delivery and odd phrasing’-Evening Herald. Named among The Ticket's top fifty Irish acts right now, a live review from The Irish Times, describes her performance as 'a beguiling snapshot of a musician in thrall to her music but not her ego'.
A prolific writer and busy performer, Scott has shared the stage with artists as diverse as Patti Smith, Howe Gelb, Kristen Hersh and Mark Lanegan while her music has featured in TV and film across Ireland and the USA including acclaimed Irish thriller, Citadel. Twice nominated in the best female category for the Irish Meteor Awards, Ann Scott has carved her own niche as an independent and firebrand songwriter. Her debut album Poor Horse was voted into the Hotpress musicians' poll of Ireland's top 100 albums, while follow ups, We're Smiling and Flo have received hearty critical acclaim and a growing number of converts, with Tony Clayton Lea including We’re Smiling in his 2011 novel of ‘101 Irish Albums You Must Hear Before You Die’
"Not one of the highly hyped songwriters but definitely one of the most talented" —Dan Hegarty - 2FM
