Backwood Spirit was founded in Örebro, Sweden, in 2014 by guitarist and song-writer Kent Engström. After writing and doing pre-recordings of songs with different musicians, Engström teamed up with long time music companion and drummer Joje Lindskoog (Crossroad Jam, Waving Corn) to put a band together.
In late 2015 the two joined forces with vocalist Göran Edman (Yngwie Malmsteen, John Norum) to start the recording of an album.
Tobias Åslund was brought in for the organ and keyboard work in the studio, along with Niclas Boson for the bass. Later on Boson became a regular member of the band. The line-up was completed with Peter Emilson, also with a past in Crossroad Jam, on keyboard.
In the style of classic rock and bluesy hard rock, the music of Backwood Spirit is reflecting the musical roots of the members.
Line-up: Göran Edman – Vocals; Kent Engström – Guitar; Joje Lindskoog – Drums; Niclas Boson – Bass; Peter Emilson – Organ & Keyboard
