BREAKING NEWS
At the invitation of the hugely popular Swedish band Shake, Elio
travels to Sweden today to perform live as their special guest tonight,
Friday 16 November in Bollnäs
and tomorrow night,
Saturday 17 November
in Sundsvall.
Elio's relationship with the band was forged earlier
this year when Shake recorded a version of Elio's song 'Oh So Tight' for their
album 'Quartet' which entered the Swedish album charts at No.10. Shake's version
of 'Oh So Tight' went on to reach Gold record sales as part of a 2CD Rock And
Roll/Rockabilly compilation album called 'Cruising Klassiker' released by EMI
Sweden and which also featured tracks by Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and Fats
Domino.
We are also very pleased to
announce that Elio will be producing Shake's lead singer and piano-player, Johan
Sjödin's, new solo album next year. Expected to be recorded in both the
UK and in Sweden, Elio will also be writing the musical arrangements,
contributing to the writing of new material as well as duelling with Johan on
piano on a track or two!
Here is what Johan has to say about the
project: "[Elio's album] 'A Seat At My Table' is the record I always
wanted to make! The perfect mix of groovy boogie-piano, perfect vocals,
beautiful harmonies and brilliant song material. I am very excited to have Elio
arranging and producing my new album and I know that working with him is going
to be great fun." Click here to listen to Shake's version of 'Oh So Tight' or
