Winterland

When we first met the creative engine behind Winterland, Fredrik Nilsson, he was this warm, goodhearted music store owner in our town in the south of Sweden. Always ready to assist and promote the local musicians coming to his store. Always ready to make a deal, to help struggling artists making a great bargain. Displaying their records, CDs and posters. And, always ready to crack a bad joke!

He was already at that time known for his musicality; as an awesome blues guitarist.
The whole town mourned the day the store had to close down. But out of the ashes rose something bigger, stronger… a songwriter of rank. Winterland had been born.

This rock solo project approaches music with a down-to-earth perspective, drawing inspiration from 70’s yacht rock bands like Fleetwood Mac and artists like Van Morrison, and Hall and Oates. For Fredrik, music has become a therapeutic experience.

Swedish rock solo project Winterland approaches music with a down-to-earth perspective. Reminiscent of rock bands like Fleetwood Mac, Dire Straits and Hall and Oates with strong influences from the 70s, while making it their own sound, blending nostalgic sounds with a fresh approach.
