Bottleneck John (Johan Eliasson)

Riksteatern

Johan “Bottleneck John” Eliasson: Vocals, slide guitar, diddley-bow &
foot stomping.

A concert that offers blues, hokum & spirituals with roots deep
down in the Mississippi Delta of the 1920s/30s.
Music that is intense, raw and fast-paced but also laid-back and
emotional!
A journey through time with songs by legends such as Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters,
Son House and Blind Willie Johnson but also his own material in this
tradition-filled genre.

For the past 3 decades, Bottleneck John has toured extensively in
Scandinavia and Europe from the Norwegian Lofoten in the north to Tropea in southern
Italy.
Also in the USA and the home of the blues around Mississippi with gigs at
clubs and festivals there, including the legendary King Biscuit
Blues Festival in Helena, Arkansas!
