How it all started.

In February 2003, Annica got tired of playing on her own and being without a back-up band. She decided then to form a band in  Falun, since that’s her hometown and that’s where she has most of her musical connections.  

Annica placed an ad in the local paper and received a bunch of replies - from drummers!!! So, she started thinking of starting a samba orchestra instead, but she soon binned that idea. Anyway, she liked one of the drummers, Jojje Engström, so together they found Anders. S-O’s wife also replied to the ad and told us that she’s married to a very talented man. We grabbed a hold of him since he was all that we asked for and more. After that we were facing the biggest problem: Where do we find a good bassist?? They don’t grow on trees…S-O solved this problem with asking his friend, Jimmie. Already at our first rehearsal we realised what an incredible talent he is. So, there the Countryneers were made!

 After a couple of months Jojje quit and the search for a new drummer began. Annica asked Micke if he could help us out, at least for a gig or two. Micke and Jimmie hit it off immediately and Micke realised that it’s fun to play country music. Thereby Micke became our drummer.

After a while S-O left Countryneers and Andreas "Ea" joined the band. That boy can play the guitar, no more comments is needed!

Country-SM became the last performance Micke did with Countryneers.

Our new drummer is Mattias Hyttsten, check out his own page for further details.

 We have found our own style of country music. With Annica’s songs and the Countryneers’ sound we have something both good and unique. Besides playing Annica’s own songs we play more or less known covers, of artist like Emmylou Harris, Heather Myles and Nanci Griffith.

All this to give our audience an unforgettable experience.
