Nr. 35 – Theresa Andersson

Theresa Andersson was introduced with the words “multi-talented artist from New Orleans” by Conan O’Brien and I was thinking “hm-hrm! She’s Swedish.” But he was right though, since 1990 she lives in New Orleans, where she moved to play the violin in a band. In 2008 she released Hummingbird, Go!, a well acclaimed album that got a lot of attention on the internet since Andersson put up videos on YouTube when recording the songs in her kitchen. (The videos does not show the versions featured on the record, though it’s recorded in the same spirit.) Why is she cool? I like the fact that the whole album is recorded in her kitchen. And when watching her videos it shows she has fun while creating her music. Plus she’s really talented.
