TRES HOMBRES - Key Persons

Jesper Lindell was the breakout star of 2017 on the Swedish music scene, when he released his debut EP. Produced by Benkt Söderberg, father and former producer of the world-renowned sister duo First Aid Kit, 'Little Less Blue' presented a collection of songs that were equal parts soul, Americana and rock. The praise from Swedish music journalists was immediate: the notable rock guru Jan Gradvall likened Jesper Lindell to a "young, agile and karate-kicking Van Morrison", and well-respected music magazine GAFFA noted that Lindell was a 'shooting star' who seemed too talented to be a product of a such a small country like Sweden. When he was seventeen, Jesper moved away from Ludvika to attend a "rock high school" in Örebro. There he co-founded the seventies rock band Almost Nature, inspired by bands like Savoy Brown, Grand Funk Railroad and Thin Lizzy. Two of the other co-founders, André Kvarnström and Kristoffer Schander, later went on to play in the international successful blues rock band Blues Pills. It was during the time with Almost Nature that Jesper for the first time introduced one of his own songs to anyone outside his family. "I was writing songs since I was 13, but this was the first time I felt that thing that makes music something more than just having fun, drinking beer and dreaming of becoming a rock star. It was a mind blowing feeling and I've carried that same feeling every day since. It made me realize that making music is what I always wanted to do. Every new day is an opportunity to write better songs, to find my true voice and to develop into the kind of musician, singer and songwriter that I would like to listen
