The Plastic Pals

”Tightare än Willy DeVille’s krokodilboots” (Anders Tapola, Smålandsposten).

Med sin New York-doftande garagerock med stark popsensibilitet har The Plastic Pals sedan starten 2005 gjort hundratals spelningar och släppt flera kritikerrosade plattor. Plattor som tagit bandet till spelningar i bland annat London, Liverpool och New York och som förband till The Dream Syndicate, Steve Wynn, The New Christs, Fleshtones, mfl.

Under 2025 firar The Plastic Pals 20-årsjubileum med nytt album med titeln ”Keep it Burning”, som släpps i höst. Första singeln ”The Blue Train” – en hyllning till Robbie Robertson – släpps 9 augusti i år.

J Shogren (US)

“J Shogren is `an affable bear of a man´ (NYTimes), a `brilliant storyteller´ (Rootsy), and a `Wyoming music legend´ (WY Trib Eagle) whose songs has taken him from the local bar scene to the Lincoln Center (NYC) and Kennedy Center (Wash DC) and back.”

In a voice “like one of those great bluesmen from ninety years ago” (Oliver di Place), Shogren´s dark humorous stories are “endearingly eclectic” (NewSong) and “like a garden full of wildflowers” (Performing Songwriter). “Split the difference between Cohen and Dylan…you’ll have a place to start” (Rambles). He has played nearly all the stages, theatres, festivals, and cook-outs in Wyoming and the Rocky Mtns, and even ventured out to favorite cities like Stockholm.
