Cookies N Beans are three Swedish girls with music in their hearts, Charlotte Centervall, Linda Ström and Frida Öhrn. Three girls with three different and incredible voices. Three girls with guitars and harmonicas, stomp and handclaps. Powerful, soulful and personal. Add to that a contageous energy on stage and you’ll get an idea of who Cookies N Beans are. 2010 will be a busy year for Cookies N Beans. They will have a flying start releasing their second album in Febuary 2010 – ”Beg, Borrow and steal”. An album produced by the wonderful swedish multitalented artist Kristofer Åström. Many great artist and songwriters like, Sophie Zelmani, Lisa Miskovsky, Tobias Fröberg and Charlie Craig have contributed by composing some beautiful tracks on the record. Besides that, Cookies N Beans have written their own songs as well. The story of Cookies N Beans takes us back to 2003 and a small basement in the Southern part of Stockholm, the indeed modest venue for their first gig. It was just meant to be an entertaining evening for friends and family, but the feedback and the sensation of playing together was just too overwhelming to let it end there. This evening became the start of a more or less neverending tour, and by now they have made over 300 gigs in Sweden and Europe. In the fall of 2008 they won the category ”Alternative Country” at the prestigeous Swedish Country Music Championship, that took place in Sälen / Sweden, in February 2009 they perform the song "What If" at the Swedish Eurovision Song Contest in Skellefteå, and in the summer of 2009 Cookies N Beans entered one of the coolest venues in Sweden – called Dalhalla – where they were the support act for the great Rosanne Cash. The music of Cookies N Beans is made out of heart and soul – they ARE heart and soul. When three strong, personal voices find harmony, without having to compromise with their own expression - pure magic is bound to happen. Testimonies reveal that more than once - large, big bearded men with tattoos have bursted into tears while listening to Cookies playing live! But they don’t just serve heartbreaking ballads: They also play raw and sweaty countrymusic that makes it impossible to stand still! Among the more significant influences you will find artists like the brilliant Dolly Parton, Lucinda Williams in her appealing harshness, Gram Parson, and Emmylou Harris with her characteristic touch of sadness. Cookies N Beans will soon be at a venue close to you! |
