Artists to watch #1 - Major Parkinson
Jens Carelius
Blues / Folk / Acoustic
Jens Carelius (Vocal,Guitar)
“I always were very uncomfortable singing out loud. With a constant feeling that I couldn’t sing, I was terrified that the neighbours would hear me. So I sang in the lowest volume I could.“ Jens Carelius– Myspace.Jens Carelius plays Folk Blues that gets you thinking of the 1960-70’s. And with influences like Bert Jansch, Robert Johnson, the late English folk scene & 30’s American blues, that’s not so strange.
His debut album “The First Songs” was released January 28. 2008.
