Tänk Om...

The obstinate and willful singer songwriter and folk rock artist Murre Eriksson from the deep spruce forests in Småland, Sweden, brings the listeners on an emotional rollercoaster. Her lyrics are artful and her melodies adapt to happiness and grief, big life changes and the tiny every day moments.

Murre grew up in the little village of Torsås, 40 km west of Växjö. Since the age of 14, she's played her music in all kind of places. She now lives in the Baltic Sea city of Västervik, well known for its musical tradition and well known folk festival. She studied songwriting there from 2014 to16, and then decided to stay.

Up until 2019 Murre mostly performed solo, but at a concert in Kajskjulet, Halmstad, where she was the opening act for legend John Holm, musicians Jesper Wihlborg and Alexander Gunnarsson where asked to contribute to her upcoming debut recording. Soon Calle Sjöqvist and Adam Butler joined the work of record production.

In her 1st album, “Tänk Oom…” (“What If…”) Murre's acoustic songs are transferred into a folk rock environment. There, lyrics and honest singing co-exist with dirty electric guitars accompanied by a fully grown band of musicians, but also, songs focused on subdued notes and feelings. Music and lyrics remain with the listeners.
