Review in Akustik Gitarre

December 12th, 2013

Fine review by Stefan Woldach in one of my favorite publications:

Akustik Gitarre 1/2014 (pdf)

Huge in Holland…

October 1st, 2013

…relatively speaking. Have had some airplay in The Netherlands in the last couple of weeks, which is nice.
Above & Below has yet to go double-platinum, though…

Laying some “Waitsian vocals and melodious guitar” on the audience at Hijazz. This time together with Allen Finney – and with Celal Alparslan guesting again. Hijazz, Uppsala, September 14th, 2013.

Playing at Izzy Young’s Folklore Center

September 11th, 2013

Had a good time playing & singing all acoustic and un-amped at Izzy Young’s Folklore Center together with Allen Finney. Nice talking to Izzy, too.
Electricity, who needs it?

Really nice review from AmericanaUK

“Waitsian vocals and melodious guitar

‘Harvester’ opens A. P. Meister’s latest offering, ‘Above and Below’. It is a melodic, guitar picking number with drawling, deep vocals which set up the tone of the whole album. Meister is a singer/songwriter who has previously explored a myriad of musical styles but has settled on this bluesy/folk genre which was a love of his from his early years. Lyrically dark and mysterious, he explores his music through guitar, picking and strumming and creating a gentle, restrained sometimes sombre, atmosphere of the smoky bar room of yesteryear.”

“A.P. Meister’s deep and somewhat rough voice evokes comparisons to Bob Dylan and Tom Waits and his songs, too, occupy roughly the same musical territory as those of these two greats.” Rootstime!

Had a very nice show at Hijazz in Uppsala – a cool place to play, great sound, good people! To the right “mr Hijazz” himself, Celal Alparslan, adding some percussion magic to part of the set.

Fin kväll på Hijazz i Uppsala. Mr Hijazz själv, Celal Alparslan, bidrog med lite slagverksmagi!
Fint ljud dessutom (tack, Oskar!). Vad mer kan man begära?
