I was lucky to hook up with Canadian singer-songwriter-stickist Dale Ladouceur for a duo concert happening in Stockholm. Here is the full concert on video, hope you like it!
Big thanks to ExitGames Stockholm for working together with us in this exciting project.
Excerpt from a solo concert at Tynnered Kyrka, Sweden, on June 24 2015. First song “Gammal Fäbodspsalm” is an old traditional folk melody. Second song “Emerald” by Per Boysen is only featured here by the intro part because the camera stopped filming there…. Sorry about that, the full concert was some forty minutes.
Below are the dates and venues of my October 2014 US west coast tour. This project would not be possible without the great help from Rick Walker, Gene Perry, the Free Hands Academy, Peterson Entertainment and the Swedish Arts Grants Committee. Thank you!

The streets of Stockholm Södermalm (the southern city island, “SoFo”) will be cooking by outdoors live music on June 6. First time I performed at Fête de la Musique in Stockholm was 2002 and in recent years it has become a healthy habit for me to take part in MMS every June 6th.
Performed by Per Boysen on twelve-stringed Stick Guitar and Fractal Audio AxeFx II. This is a free-form scuba live version, the main album version is different.
Swedish architecture bureau ORIGO arkitekter is using a specifically remixed track from my Stick Street album to enhance this corporate video presentation.
