Tony Bengtsson Band

Tony Bengtsson Band - Live at Three Tanners Bank

North East-based Americana/Folk artist Tony Bengtsson’s hook-laden songs are ‘remarkable
to say the least’ (Maverick Magazine) and his voice has been described as ‘the best for
country outside of America’ (Dan Walsh - premier UK banjo player).

Bengtsson started writing in 2004 after swapping his drumsticks for a guitar. His writing
takes you on a journey through his diary, drawing on relationship experiences, the death of
his father, and more recently his political activism in songs like ‘This Little Country’ and
‘Count Me In’. Whatever the theme, the ethos of authenticity remains. The honest heartfelt
message can be heard in all of his songs. ‘Snake in the Woodpile should act as a benchmark
for what this incredibly talented artist has to offer’ - Maverick

The Band

The band brings the skills of four versatile, vastly experienced musicians to bear on Tony’s
exceptional song-writing and vocals. Chiming Telecaster, driving piano, soaring fiddle and a
rhythm section firmly in the pocket are all overlaid with timeless melodies.
