The ROCKRIDGE BROTHERS

We got together a few years ago to record a bluegrass soundtrack for an animated movie that a friend of us produced. At the time, we were all playing country, punk, folk music and what-not in different bands. But once we were done recording, we just couldn't stop playing that traditional appalachian style! After a while the music got more and more old timey, and... well, here we are!

Pontus Juth: Upright Bass.
Peter Frövik: Guitar.
Ralf Fredblad: Banjo, Fiddle.
Kristian Herner: Clawhammer banjo.
All of us: Shouting.

We're Swedish national bluegrass champions!
We just won the bluegrass category in Country SM, the Swedish national championship in country music. Perhapps we should say something about the fact that we play old time, or that you really shouldn't compete in music, but we won't. The People and judges liked us and that's great. We're happy! Johan Malmström videotaped our performance in the finals and uploaded it to YouTube. We want to thank all of you who came to Sälen and the silver and bronze bands, Lonesome Mountaineers and High Pass. It was fun. Let's do it again next year!
