Extract from Matti Norlin's website:
Matti Norlin is a versatile musician with roots in Sweden, Ångermanland and rock n 'roll, working since 1990. He is primarily a guitarist but also plays and composes for Nyckelharpa (keyed fiddle), Hurdy-Gurdy, Banjo, Fiddle and Accordion. Matti appears both solo and with his bands Badge and Skrömta. The early blues is Mattis specialty.

Matti Norlin, born 21 dec 1972 in Hoting, Sweden, grew up listening to Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Rickard and other rythm and blues artists. By the age of ten he picked up his first guitar and it didn´t take long until he sang and played Heavy Metal with some other kids from the same village. As teenagers they recorded two E.P.s, the first was done in 1986. 1991 Matti bought an LP with Robert Johnson and a whole new world
opened up. The focus of the exercises was changed from distorted Heavy Metal riffs to acoustic finger-picking, and since then, Matti has almost exclusively devoted himself to music which was recorded for over eighty years ago in the southern United States.
