They made their debut in 1994 with a song on a compilation album from A West Side Fabrication. Then it went fast. Frequent airplay on Swedish radio, slots at major festivals, hits in Asia, tours and recordings in the US, soundtracks for movies and TV. Meet The Drowners, one of the influential bands during the 90s when the pop city Skellefteå delivered all over the world.
In recent years, they have resumed their musical collaboration. This evening they reunite at the Berättarfestivalen under the title Musikaliska Talks to talk about their successful adventure in the music world. About driving forces, work processes and guaranteed some interesting anecdotes from these intense years. The discussion will be led by Per Strömbro, who will tie in with today's theme at the Berättarfestivalen - improv/in the moment.
Of course, we will also listen to live music with The Drowners unplugged.
Participants from The Drowners:
Magnus Vikström, Andreas Persson, Mikael Sundqvist, Jörgen Lindmark and Leif Renström.
Free admission, but ticket required. Tickets go on sale on September 11.
