Artist History
In the fall of '98, Linus started looking for musicians to play with, hoping that they would match his country-influenced songs. The first one to join was guitarist (and songwriter) Tom Forsman. Soon after, drummer Stefan "Cronis" Cronebäck and lap steel/guitar player Staffan Johansson. Then Stefan's friend and bass player, Lennart "Stetson" Zethzon, joined. In the spring of '99, Stillhouse recorded 6 songs for their first demo-CD. Soon after, they played their first gig (in Stockholm). Since then, the band constellation has varied a bit. |
