TEXT ENGELSKA

Benny Jannerbrink

I am a Swedish countrysinger, guitarist and songwriter. I have always sung as long as I can remember. When I was a young boy at the age of 4-5 year I sang the songs that was played on the radio at that time.


At the age of 19 I bought my first guitar and in the early 70's I was a Troubadour in pizzerias and then became a full time musician and lead singer in the swedish dansband JERRY GREEN'S orchestra from Västerås and ELDORADO'S orchestra from Eskilstuna with tourings all over Sweden on many, many dance place.


In 1979, I ended the period as dance band singer but promised myself to give the music full time again when I would be retired. From 1980 and the following years, I worked as a sales engineer, marketing manager and company manager (CEO) in Swedish engineering industry with focus on automated production with i.a. robots.


In 2011 I retired and picked up the music again. The restart was successful when I at a talent competition for seniors, PRO-Stars, with participants from all over Sweden be placed on second place.
Today I call myself SINGER / SONGWRITER and write my own country songs and perform as "ONE MAN BAND" with 50-60 live performances/year.


In my studio in Kungälv, I produce my own music backgrounds, both for my own songs and for the cover songs I play. On the background music professional musicians from NASHVILLE play and you can hear, for example, dobro, pedal steel, harmonica, mandolin, violin among many other typical country instruments. It really swings a lot of the music, which is something I often hear from my audience.


The repertoire consists of well-known country songs by the great country artists and my own songs and to my great joy many songs are played often in the smaler local radio stations around Sweden.
I have since 2015 released 5 CD album with half own songs and half covers. In 2020, I have up until today released some singles with my own newly written songs that are posted up on Spotify and other music sites.
