Excited to kick off my first Italian tour next week together with Stereochemistry!

“To be strange is something I always have treasured. I have a big love for people that dare to be different, because they are brave enough to show who they really are. For me this song is about feeling lonely, but still standing there with a little smirk on your face, looking at everyone else thinking; it’s not me who is strange – it’s you.”

This is my cover of The Doors Classic ”People Are Strange”.

SpinGrey 🖤 Thank you for continued support. My Dusty Springfield cover is now part of their “New Music: January” playlist!

My Dusty Springfield cover is starting to get some recognition! Thanks a lot Unpeeled (UK) and Drevet (SWE)  for reviewing it! 

“This is a song of abandonment, desertion and desolation and Gus Ring tackles that head on and Gus Ring ends up just as involved in, infected and hypnotised by the narrative as Dusty Springfield and her team did.” – Unpeeled (UK)

“Gus Ring ska ha en eloge för att ge sig på den här låten. En medalj i ädlaste valör. Han gör det riktigt bra i all sin enkelhet.” – Drefvet (SWE)

“After a huge period of getting immersed in 60’s lovesongs I spent two cold winter days recording, isolated in a east german church.”

Today I release my cover of Dusty Springfields classic “You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me”.

Guys. Here is my last tourdiary youtube video. I’m gonna make something new, something different, more introverted, more me, more art. You will see very soon. Thanks for watching these two years 

This year has been INTENSE. Releasing my second album “Hypnoseas” on vinyl, touring europe playing over 80 shows, quitting my dayjob to immerse myself completely in music, making a living off of it, moving to another country, creating the musical collective Owl-Eye-Ring. Meeting so many wonderful and unique people, and new friends for life. Some special love to all the people who has helped me make all of this possible, Jackalope – Artist Needs Management, and especially Paul who made this vision of mine become reality with our first tour together in 2016. All the people who has hosted me on my travels, let me in on their lives and shared a part of themselves. My amazing girlfriend who listens, understands and supports me and my passion. Daughters and Sons for believing in me and helping me release “Hypnoseas”, especially Patrik for close contact and nice talks. SHE OWL, my amazing new italian friends who I met this year and now feel like I couldn’t live without, making our dreams come to life together. One day we can eat all the Oplatky we want.

I love a good indie initiative like New Nordic Indie. Thank you so much for featuring my song “Hypnoseas” in your “New Nordic Folk & Roots” playlist 🙏 Check out the wonderul playlist here;

On Friday I play in my old hometown Linköping and the last show for this year will be in my new hometown – Halle – at Hühnermanhattan Klub, the 29th of December. So psyched to end off this year in the best possible way – with you guys ❤
