JAN BOHOLM & MELAHTI - FESTERNAS TID ÄR FÖRBI (album) Black Vinyl

Jan Boholm is almost a household name in the northern Sweden as an actor in highly successful Teater Soja. 2018 he released his debut album at the age of 62. Songs about his upbringing in a northen town. Jan Boholm's fourth album takes its starting point in something different. The title track was inspired by what happened on April 4, 2024. Then Teater Soja performed its last performance and Jan Boholm - a third of the independent theater group - thus entered the stage called retirement. But the actor, musician and author Jan Boholm did not retire from creativity, music and writing. From thoughts about this, the title song Festernas tid är förbi was born - a track about the transience of everything. A beautiful song about - in contrast to the Neil Young's song - slowly fading away. But also about reconciliation. Something that sets the tone for the entire album, which is something of a summary of a lifetime of work in the service of culture and music. About facing the new time and being reconciled with the old. Low-key and thoughtful. Interplayed, captivating, poetic, progressive and modern at the same time, Jan brings together his musical comrades Kettil Medelius and Ingemar Lahti and gathers together an impressive group of musicians, offering a finely tuned, interplayed and captivating album at the intersection of folk and rock.
