Tommy Nyström
Настоящее имя: Tommy Nyström
Об исполнителе:
Tommy was born in Farsta; Stockholm Christmas Eve 1957. He is a Swedish bassist raised in a suburb called Trångsund, 13 kilometers south of Stockholm. In 1973, when he was 15 years old, he borrowed a Höfner violin bass from a friend. By coincidence, he started playing the bassguitar, and soon he joined the group ”Hela Huset Skakar” from Huddinge, also about 13 kilometers south of Stockholm. In late spring 1976, some of the members of ”Hela Huset Skakar” just disappeared and didn’t show up for the rehearsals and the band split. Tommy looked for new hunting grounds and found it on Lidingö, on the other side of the Swedish capital. He joined ”Bannhund” who needed a bassist ASAP. He joined them just for a year because he was tired of living in Stockholm and decided to move to the typical swedish small town Ludvika. In Ludvika he soon got new musician friends and joined ”Silverfig” for 3 years. They split up after two of the guys in the band got jobs in other cities and had to move. About a year later he ran into a guy from the band ”Faxe” and was told that they needed a bassist because they never got one. After even this band split up, he had some guest playing in other bands. Latest news from him was that he moved 320 kilometers north of Stockholm to the little town of Mora, working as a driving teacher until the next band shows up and wants him to join their gang.
