BECHES BREW
premiered at Fasching on september 1st 2008 at the opening of Country & Eastern Fasching Nights. We had a great evening, recorded by Swedish National Radio who broadcasted on october 17. We recorded the band the days before and release the cd in 2009.
During 2009 we played in Umeå, Ljungskile, Lund, Gothenburg and Stockholm.


The CD is was nominated both for a Swedish Grammy and Manifest awards.

"one of the most spectacular records to come out of Europe in 2009..."
"Beches Brew in its entirety, is a wonderfully crafted suite. It is a world of music that ebbs and flows through the soul of Berger, memorably interpreted by his fellow journeymen."
