With roots in jazz, funk, and fusion, Sweden’s answer to Pino Palladino crafts a dynamic, groove-driven sound where the bass takes center stage—carrying the melody and propelling the rhythm. Bassist Thobias Gabrielson has been a vital force on Sweden’s jazz, pop, and rock scenes since the mid-’90s, collaborating with artists like Nils Landgren, Timbuktu & Damn!, Ida Sand, GES, and Electric Banana Band. He is also a key member of Magnus Öström Group and Jakob Karlzon Questar.
On stage, he’s joined by a powerhouse lineup of musicians with backgrounds spanning from Nils Landgren Funk Unit to Liv Warfield and Bill Champlin. Together, they bring his latest solo album Messages to life. Expect deep grooves, evocative melodies, and a heavy dose of electrified funk!
