Jimmie Lagerqvist is the name of our incredible
bassist. He’s the youngest member of the band, but he has already
managed to create two lovely little sons. Jimmie works for the Swedish
state when he’s not busy playing.
Jimmie’s musical career has been a long and wide road.
Already at the age of six(!) he learned how to play the accordion and
later he started singing in a choir, Cantamus, which he toured Europe
with. On the side of that he was the lead singer and drummer of a rock
band. When the band suddenly was left without a bassist Jimmie started
playing the bass instead and his brother Robin started playing the
drums. (Robin is nowadays the drummer of the rock band Fatal Smile.)
On the side of this, Jimmie is playing the accordion in one of
Dalarna’s many folkmusic groups. Jimmie and S-O used to do some
jamming together before they joined the Countryneers.
There’s no doubt about what a musical miracle he is,
our Jimmie.
Jimmie plays on a 4-string Fender JP-90 and a
Peavey-amp.
