Ida Andersson Band

IAB started out in 2013 as a one night band celebrating the women of the blues. But they loved playing together so they continued throughout 2013. Original songs started to emerge and the funky bluesy kind of "IAB Sound" started to take shape. 2016 saw the release of their first album "Funk 'n' Blues”. Recorded in Fårösund, by David Stiby. In 2018 they released "IAB TVÅ” recorded in Capstan Studios, Stockholm again with David Stiby. The album featured guest appearances from blues celebs Lisa Lystam and Ida Bang. The 25th of May gig at Joda in Visby was recorded for a live album. The album was recorded by Fredrik Larsson and mixed summer 2019 by Martin "Konie" Ehrencrona (of Viagra Boys fame) and released August 20th (streaming only). In spring/summer of 2020 writing sessions for ”Fyra” started. The album was – as with all previous releases – recorded live. All basic instrumental tracks on the 17th of October 2020. And a few retakes the 18th. The vocal tracks on a session a few weeks later. The album was recorded and mixed in Studio Massarve by Peter Otberg and mastered by Linus Larsson. Fyra was released in April 2021 as streaming only. Finally in January 2023 a vinyl LP version was released. Form the original 2013 line-up singer Ida Andersson Jupiter, drummer Johan Larsson, bass player Edvin ”Räkan” Holm and guitarist Christopher-Robin ”Garbo” Maurin are still with the band. In 2016 they were joined by singer and Rhodes player Linn Klintberg. (Text from Spotify.)
