I have always liked anniversaries. I’m probably quite nostalgic by nature, but I think anniversaries also givce us the chance to remember and appreciate things we might otherwise forget. September 20th, 2015 was the first time I met Hans Bollandsås. He drove down from Trondheim, Norway to Uppsala and we met and had a little jam session. It was the beginning of a friendship and an exciting collaboration that is still very much alive today. These 10 years we’ve been playing together in various forms, mostly in our own names, but it has developed into a band named Small Town Orchestra.
As this concert, that start of our mini tour, was just 5 days off from the 10 year anniversary I think of this as the anniversary concert. And I must say, it was a great way to celebrate! The start of a tour is always extra exciting. Everything is so fresh and there’s that little extra nerve to it. Always enjoy playing in Sundsvall, and it’s always fun to bring a new band that they haven’t heard before!
