Krister Axel is a roots rock musician living in Los Angeles. He plays a Wurlitzer electric piano and a Martin 000-1. His newest release ARMS AROUND THE RIVER was recorded live to 2 inch tape at New Monkey Studio, the studio that until a few years ago belonged to Elliot Smith.
- Infectious… this is serious hit song material; original music that is at once evocative of Dave Matthews, Coldplay and Blues Traveler. Krister Axel and his band play a rootsy, sometimes poppy, blues-influenced rock and roll that is impossible not to like. We could all stand to hear more of this music. Somebody give this guy a distribution deal…please! – Jason Ricks, IceCreamMan.com
