Isabella Lundgren releases single; Out of the Bell Jar (Ladybird Music),
Brian is guest for release concert at Söder Teatern performing select songs together live for titled album;
Out Of The Bell Jar (Ladybird Music).
“Out of the Bell Jar comes from Sweden, with a deliciously deft vocal vibe, Dylanesque lyricism and truly inspired, understated fretwork supplied by the singer Isabella Lundgren ably assisted by US-Swedish bluesman, Brian Kramer (lyrics by Isabella/music by Kramer). With a delightful, sparkling guitar lead and backing throughout, Lundgren not only crosses musical boundaries and divides but confronts and collides with them head-on, with shades of blues, soul and Americana all rippling along at every twist and turn. A delightful bit of work worth discovering for lovers of good, old-fashioned songwriting, harmonic, melodic beauty and searching soul.”

An incredible experiance to be featured as part of Lithuania's largest open air festival; Bliuzo naktys Festival 2016!
over 5000 enthusiastic and wonderful Blues-lovin' fans cheered on and sang along & made it one of the best international festivals I have ever been part of!
Backed by the Road Band, a beloved, long time staple Blues band in Lithuania, the grooves were funky, deep and free!
Hope to return again in the near future!

There were over 1,000 people along with just about every Ambassador from every country in Sweden as well as diplomats and Nobel prize recipients. It was a great, memorable event with BKB as the soundtrack and we got the whole place grooving! Pictured here with U.S. Ambassador to Sweden Mark Brzezinski and his wife Natalia.
