Time to thaw out and resurface again. Starting off on April 21st, 20.00 at S:ta Clara Bierhaus in Stockholm (Lilla Nygatan 17, Gamla Stan) Together with Allen Finney.

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

Akustik Gitarre 1/2014 (pdf)

…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.

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?

“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!

After many trials, tribulations and delays a bunch of boxes containing the new cd finally arrived at HQ a few days ago.
Sounds and looks really good! Official release date is the 3rd of May.

Efter många om och men har nya cd:n anlänt till högkvarteret. Fint ljud och ser riktigt bra ut! Släpps “officiellt” 3 maj.

Got some moving pictures from Hijazz, too. Shot with a rock-steady hand by my friend Pär Dahlerus.
