"..Slide guitar is first about listening.. Then it's about feeling.. It's about how you can make your guitar sound more like a voice than wood and steel or bronze... Don't be afraid to play less, to work with your voice and with the silence between the notes.. 

A lotta nothing is still nothing. A little something... now THAT's something!!.."

Resonatin' words of wisdom..

BJ's Delta Trio!!! 

Mostly old-timey 1920's and 30's unpolished, raw delta, hokum & country blues stuff.. Spirituals(early bluesy gospel) are also an essential part of our repertoire!! 

We play blues clubs, festivals, churches, cultural events etc.etc.. This kind of music fits in everywhere!!!!

Best described as a mix of old-timey slideguitar Delta/Country blues and Spirituals. The heart in our music is the genuine sound of  resonator guitars, when performing, there's also washboard, harmonica, fiddle, mandolin, kazoo and other typical instruments of the golden era! And what a wonderful sound they all make!! What better way to get your audience in the mood than with a set of laid back stuff from the Delta?!

Anywhere where there´s a need for real old blues.. We´ll be there!!

Classic tunes from masters like Robert Johnson, Son House, Blind Willie Johnson, Skip James, Muddy Waters, Tampa Red, Bukka White etc.. As well as my own songs in the genre of course..!!

Bottleneck John's Delta Trio 

Bottleneck John's Delta Trio bjuder på ol’timey blues, hokum & spirituals(tidig gospel med blues i botten) med rötterna djupt nere i 1920/30-talets Mississippidelta, ibland intensiv, rå och tempofylld men även tillbakalutad och känslosam.

BJ's Delta Trio bjuder på en musikalisk tidsresa med låtar av legendarer som Robert Johnson, Son House, Bukka White, Blind Willie Johnson och Muddy Waters men även eget material i denna traditionsfyllda genre!

Don Hooper från Unplugged Records i USA kommenterade Bottleneck John så här när han hörde Johan sjunga: "..It's as if Son House's voice has come alive again, Deeply moving!!.."
