A great new guitarist to bring in the new year. The great Andreas Oberg. Guy is just a monster. From Stockholm. Began playing at 8. Graduate of the Royal college of music in Stockholm. Winner of the Django festivel, for his gypsy guitar playing. And has collaborated with numerous musicians. Still in his early 30's and just cooks his A$$ off.
