The acclaimed Swedish singer-songwriter Elin Ruth released her Bang EP this past week. The four song EP precedes her full length CD which comes out on January 29, 2013. Bang is available for a free download on her Facebook page. You can also purchase the iTunes version that includes a bonus track in which Elin covers Hank Williams’ “I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive”.
Elin Ruth plays at NYC’s renowned venue The Living Room on December 6 with her new full band at 7 PM. Her desire for experimentation shines through in her stage performance. Whether by the piano or alone with her guitar, Elin mesmerizes the audience, filling the room with her slightly raspy voice, powerful stage presence and vocal summersaults.
In many ways, it’s only natural for Elin to end up in the country of her musical heroes. Growing up in the small town of Mönsterås, by the windy Swedish east coast, her dad filled the
house with American folkrock. At the time Elin shrugged it off as “old man’s music”, but when her songwriting turned serious in her late teens, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Donovan, Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell all came re-visiting. Elin Ruth is the sound of an artist crossing the world for love and ending up in the country that first inspired her to make music.
