Musician and composer Andreas Rydman was born and raised in the village of Granö, in the middle of the woods of north Sweden. With Stockholm as his base and the rest of the world as his working field, Andreas has toured all over the world playing in over 500 cities in over 40 countries with different projects. His diverse musical approach to the instruments of Lap-steel and Weissenborn has affected anyone who’s experienced him live. Rydmans releases his second solo album BREWHAHA in the fall of 2018 "My music has its roots in the United States, but I've been told that there is a hint of Swedish melancholy in my melodies, even when the songs are in major.I guess it’s our inheritance" Andreas first album Simply Amplify has received great reviews in guitar magazines like Swedish Fuzz, Italian Chitarre, Sweden’s biggest Newspaper DN and musical blogs like Obladoo. “Rydman switches easily from electric guitar to pedal steel, lap steel, baritone guitar and Weissenborn. Now he steps timidly forward with his own instrumental music and world class guitar playing " -Hans Kronbrink, DN “What a guitarist! The album isn’t only evocative of masters such as David Lindley and Ry Cooder, it maintains the same level." -Anders Lundquist, Obladoo “... Andreas is gifted with perfect intonation and an unusual solid rhythmic for someone who 'slides' on the strings. Definitely recommended.” -Stefano Tavernese, CHITARRE “Simply Amplify is a promising debut “- Michael Linderoth FUZZ
