COLD MOUNTAIN BAND

 

 

 

The COLD MOUNTAIN BAND are an acoustic five piece consisting of five stringed banjo, mandolin, fiddle, double bass and guitar. Tight vocal harmonies interlaced with virtuoso solos make up the bands sound. The make up of the band points towards bluegrass music but the width of the bands material and influences gives a many sided and entertaining prospect. Just like in the old days the band utilise only one microphone producing a "real" acoustic sound while at the same time providing a show that is entertaining and enthralling.

The band made their first appearance at the Swedish premier of the movie "Cold Mountain" in Stockholm while they were still nameless and from which they took their present name.

Since this the band haven't looked back, making regular appearances at parties, pubs, community centres, town halls, shopping centres, office parties and bluegrass festivals. Also of note is the fact that they are the official band for the Saltsjö Square Dancers where they appear regularly. They also played themselves all the way to the semi-final of  TV 4’s Sweden’s Got Talent  (Talang 2010).

Extremely creative - not just as a musician and songwriter - he is   the inventor of the smallest guitar capo in the world. Is also currently engaged in devising a new and secret method to intonate fretted instruments. Did  you know that it's possible to tune a banjo perfectly?
