Today Bus Stop Dreams release the album “Don’t Forget to Breathe”. And yes, it’s also my own album debut, even if it’s not the first album my colleagues in the band have appeared on. My colleagues are my duo partner Lasse Thomasson and also part time members like Jan Johansen, Sonja Hewer, Ulla Wrethagen, Pär Enqvist among others. I won’t scream any superlatives about the songs but just state that I’m immensely proud over this album that breathes soft classic rock with country vibes, but where there’s also room for beautiful pop melodies and dystopic group cuddles. Here are two songs with lead vocals by German singer Sonja Hewer. The album art was created by the artist Linnea Strid.

Yep, that’s her real name.
OK, it’s her first and middle name, but one should take fortune where they find it. Those who might find sacrilege in this invocation of a sainted handle can rest assured that it’s in good hands. In this case, a young (born 1992) woman who more than personifies a great and grand American tradition.

This is it! Dan Savik’s long awaited release of new material! Heading West was written and recorded during 2011-2012 on the Swedish west coast. The album contains a wide variety of exciting adult contemporary styles, soft rock, west coast and soul. This is an album built around skillfully crafted songs and well produced arrangements, packed throughout with melodic hooks and background vocals put to effectful use! All in the mood and style of legends like Toto, Chris De Burgh, Don Henley and Simply Red among others.
