Search - Huckleberry Swedes :: Suburban Dreaming

Huckleberry swedes are a five-piece outfit hailing from south australia. With bj barker on drums, sam willoughby on bass/vocals, richard "the judge" coates on keyboards/accordion, mark elberg on guitars/banjo/mandolin/vocals and troy loakes on vocals/guitar, this band of experienced players have rightly developed a name as a great live act. The swedes shows are delivered with an intense heart and soul that has seen them invited to spend the last year criss-crossing the eastern states to perform at some of our finest music festivals, including byron bay blues and roots, apollo bay, gympie music muster, fuse festival, tamworth and the robe village fair as well as performing their own tours. Sometimes alt country, sometimes soul, huckleberry swedes are artists with voices that join in the ups and downs of our time. Songs about the love of fishing, pies, and sweethearts, songs of protest, underdog anthems and melancholic musings baked in a crust of roots, rock, folk, soul, australiana and americana. They're a band that asks questions about who we are, and what our place is in the land.
