The singer and songwriter artist Vilma Flood from the steel town of Avesta in Sweden started her career in the blues world and appeared around many of Stockholm’s and Dalarna’s blues scenes. but Vilma found her greatest source of inspiration in the folk / indie genre through artists like Melanie, Alela Diane, Buffy Saint-Marie, Leonard Cohen and Ane Brun. She has since created her very own mix of blues, folk and pop together with fellow musicians Lars Knutas and Pontus Lundin.
Vilma has shared a new track called “Green Eyed Moron” with her powerful, dark and vibrating voice, combined with big marching drums, acoustic guitars and slide guitar to deliver a really compelling and intoxicating slab of melancholic, bluesy Americana. It reminds us of Jolie Holland or Gretchen Peters no less.
Her next single is released this Friday! Vilma and Pontus Lundin wrote the song sitting cross legged on a carpet in a big unfurnished room .
Her first album ‘Before Sunrise’ was released in 2016 and received a very nice reception by both the audience and the media and it has taken her on both big and small gigs around the country. Now Vilma is up to date with the second album ‘Moodswinger’, which will be released on April 26th, The pillars are pedal steel, slide guitar, big drums,plus Vilma’s vibrant, directly recognizable powerful voice
