DEAR ALL!!
I wish you a wonderful Holiday and a HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!
Thanks for staying with me and continuing to support independent music,
it makes a huge difference! I also want to thank you for the small notes and encouragements
I get, the CD:s sold,the audience coming out to listen, and the generosity when I'm on tour.
2009 has been a year filled to the brim.
Hard work, great fun, exciting new collaborations and things leading forward.
I was in Nashville in June, recording my new album with the great great producer and
musician Will Kimbrough. It was such a pleasure working with him and the great musicians
he put together for the CD, a musical whirlwind that I did not want to get out of.
This album has been named FIREFLIES, after one of the songs, and also after the
magical twilights by the Eastwood Studios in Nashville where the glimmer and glitter of the fireflies
amazed me and enhanced the recordings..I'm sure!
Right now I am waiting for this fantastic album, "alternative country India with a scandinavian twist"
to come home after being pressed and printed. The release is set (for Scandinavia) to February 3rd 2010,
as it looks now.
I can't wait for you to hear it!
It has some wonderful duet's too, with David Olney, and Will Kimbrough, and Swedish star Peter LeMarc.
One of the songs, "STOP", is already on rotation on the Swedish national radio, yeeeeeyyyy!
You can download it for free on my website, www.annikafehling.com
***********
As for 2009.......
I did some wonderful touring in Norway in October, supported by the Halden AllStars, great fun! and
in Germany/NL in November, partly with great singer- songwriter Markus Rill. I had a cold the whole time...but it worked out... A video is up HERE!
My SMF Living Room shows this year has worked really well, in Visby, Stockholm and Vallingby, with artistslike Tom Kimmel (USA), Sally Barris (USA), Will Kimbrough (USA), Buddy Mondlock (USA), Amber Rubarth (USA), Theresa Andersson (USA) , Simon Lynge (USA/DK),Michael Friedman (CAN), and many more sharing their songs and themselves.
More info on www.livingroomconcerts.se
The Sweden Singer Songwriter Festival 2009 was also a big success, much due to the wonderful artists
coming. We had a great line-up with Theresa Andersson, Buford Pope, ABA and Amber Rubarth amongst
others.
For all you songwriters I'd like to recommend the Listening Room International Songwriters Retreats
in general, and specifically the Gotland Retreat, put on MAY 9-16 2010.
We've had some wonderful songwriters participating during the 6 years we've been going, like
Tom Kimmel,Buddy Mondlock, Mikael Rickfors, Henning Kvitnes, Dana Cooper, Rex Foster.
www.listeningroomretreats.com
I am also involved in a trio-project, called ABA, and we've had great sucess with our shows, some videos
are put up on my website.
***************************
Lots of things I wish for in the new year 2010
That more people think good about our environment and Mother Earth, inclucing myself.
That we get better at thinking good about one another on this planet, together, alike.
In peace!
And for me, I hope FIREFLIES reaches out and touches you.
Love from a Visby in snow,
Annika

STOP
Good morning!
Am sitting here fairly early all dressed up to make a musicvideo
with Mats. The snow is whirling down outside and they say dont drive
today...an the song talks about rain on the window...dont know how to
solve that in the video..
Its the song STOP, that is on rotation on Swedish National Radio !! yeyyyy!!! Hurrah!
a song a cowrote with Nashville-inhabitant David Llewellyn, that talks about
just stopping for a moment and really SEE whats around you. And appreciate it.
Its like the movie MATRIX. You know, when time just rolls in slow motion and you
really can follow a movement or an intention.
You talk about what you need to hear yourself.....I am sure the stress I've been
right in the middle of this fall has a lot to do with the cold I've been fighting for
the last 2 months!
Ever since Norway and the wonderful but cold! photosession by the IronMine in Falun with Magda...
Some photos are up on my website, at least the album cover.
So what do you think?
Stop! and
Love
Annika

”Stop” är första singeln från Annika Fehlings kommande album ”Fireflies”, som släpps i slutet av januari 2010. Nu playlistad på P4.
”Fireflies” är inspelad och mixad i Nashville med Will Kimbrough (Rodney Crowell, Jimmy Buffett m fl) som producent.
Nashville signalerar ju av naturliga skäl att det handlar om countrymusik, men så är det inte i det här fallet. Visst finns här country- och americanainfluenser, men också väldigt mycket annat. Inte minst har Annika en känsla för catchy poprefränger som sätter sin prägel på låtarna.
Will Kimbrough och alla de andra fantastiska musikerna (Bryan Owings, Fats Kaplin , Tim Marks, Dave Jacques, Paul Griffith) är inte heller de i första hand country.
På ”Fireflies” gästas Annika även av David Olney och Peter LeMarc.
Plattan släpps på Rootsy.nu
Ho ho ho ....
Snön lyser med sin frånvaro men därmed inte sagt att julstämningen gör det!
ABA sjunger in julen för fullt med en julshow som äger rum både på Gotland (Gumbalde och Joda) och i Norrtälje.
9-10/12 Norrtälje
11/12 Gumbalde, Stånga
18-19/12 Joda, Visby
GOD JUL & GOTT NYTT ÅR!!!

Beautiful Norway
Ohhh such a wonderful tour in Norway, I love it!
Halden was a real experience for me in many ways. First and last, the band.
Great musicians. Terje Stoldal picked me up in Olso and made the stay very easy and good, thanks!
We rehearsed and got a real worldclass take on both "Seamless" and "Lungs". wow.
i had a slight cough and got worried that it had something to do with swines....oh dear...but it seems to have calmed down or hopefully gone :-))
Erlandsons Conditorie in Halden is such a cult place. I loved playing there. Freddy Holm made all kinds of awesome sounds and the band followed.
Needless to say (??) it was a very late night, an unusual late night, on a pub called
"the last trip" !!
yey.
It was hard waking up next morning. Couldnt get my voice to work until after a while.
So tonight I had a sologig in Oslo, at a great place called Club M3, with enthusiastic Stefan behind the
bar and Robert doing a great sound...which was really good after having a band night
the evening before...
I did the newest song, a co-write with Dean Owens, called "The Ruins and the Roses", and it worked really well. And I love doing my dulcimer song "Lost&Found".
Anea and Christer were playing too, young talented singersongwriters both of them
(makes me feel kind of old...)
Well without this late night hotel after gig sitting, there would've been no blog.
So I guess thats good
Now- bedtime.
Goodnight all.
sleep tight.

Det är fullt upp nu under hösten. Jag har varit inne i Cosmosstudion i Kärrtorp och gjort en duett med Peter LeMarc som kommer att komma på det nya albumet. Låten heter "Lonely Love". Olli Olsson skötte kontrollerna.
Living Room programmet är spikat med en massa intressanta artister. Ett Living Room special går av stapeln i Vällingby Ciry den 25-27 september. En Norge-turné går av stapeln i oktober och i november bär det av till Tyskland. För mer info; www.annikafehling.com

JAG ÄR I NASHVILLE!!!!!
För tillfället håller jag på och uppfyller en av mina stora drömmar. Jag spelar in min nionde platta, första soloalbumet sedan "Happy on the red" som kom 2004. En del är nyskrivet och en del är låtar jag har spelat på scen under senare år.
Med på vägen har jag Will Kimbrough som producent.
Kimbrough har valt ut sina favoritmusiker, bland dem trummisen Bryan Owings som spelat med storheter som Emmylou Harris och Steve Earle.
Det känns jätteroligt och nervöst på samma gång. Helt fantastiskt!

Bilden talar för sig själv! En glad, lättsam & livfull sommarshow tillsammans med Annelie Roswall och Bittis Jacobsson (ABA) kommer att gå under juli månad på Gotland.
Premiären är onsdagen den 8:e juli!
Sedan följande onsdagar och lördagar(alltså 11:e, 15:e, 18:e, 22:e, 25:e, 29:e och sista gången den 1:a augusti).
Platsen är Joda i Visby hamn.
Detta är "uppföljaren" till vår mycket uppskattade julshow i fjol och det har också lett oss fram till inspelning av en gemensam platta.
Singer/songwriterfestivalen 2009
På tal om SSSF som nämndes i tidigare inlägg så håller vi på och planerar den för fullt. Många fantastiska artister är bokade och fler ska väljas ut. Det har visats ett oerhört intresse. Denna festival är den enda av sitt slag i Norden och vi är så glada över att den får hålla rum i Visby vilket är en mycket passande miljö.
Festivalen hålls inne på Fornsalens innergård från kl.11-23. Fram till 18 är det fritt inträde sedan tas en avgift ut.
Det kommer garanterat bli en härlig, spännande och stämningsfull kväll.
Jag återkommer med mer information angående vilka artister som kommer medverka. Allt för spänningens skull....... men om ni är nyfikna så gå in på;
www.swedensingersongwriterfestival.se
