BASKERY
(Stockholm Sweden)

Performance Date

Saturday, Sept 5

Evening Concert - Kennedy Outdoor Theater

 

Baskery is Greta, Stella and Sunniva Bondesson- 3 sisters from the outskirts of Stockholm with deep roots in the northern part of Sweden .

 

Their high voltage sound combines distorted slide banjo, slap-driven upright bass and frenetic acoustic rhythm guitar, further highlighted by their tight vocal harmonies.  Their sound, a combination of alternative country, blues and rock and roll, encompasses sweet melancholy and raw desperation.

 

Baskery has traveled to 14 countries around the globe in support of their debut album, “Fall Among Thieves”.  Mojo Magazine in the UK calls their debut, “Absurdly wonderful” and Q Magazine hits the nail right on the head saying that “Baskery has turned in a stunning debut album of mountain music laced with a self-proclaimed punk attitude”.

 

Highlight shows on the band’s tour have included, Glastonbury Festival in the UK ., South By Southwest in Austin , Texas , Tønder Festival in Denmark ,  Celtic Connections in Glasgow , Rockpalast in Germany , Lowlands Festival in Holland and, Roots and Blues Festival in Canada .
