Welcome!
This website is in a sense a celebration of my debut album, “Journeys and Dreams”. It is a collection of songs which deal with journeys and dreams – the ones that we realise as well as the ones we regret not living.
The musical style is a mix of roots rock, folk-rock and Americana. When it comes to the music, some of my main sources of inspiration are people like Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Randy Newman, Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour, plus loads of others.
In quite a few of the songs, the stories take place in the US, or in Great Britain. I’ve lived and studied in Great Britain and visited the USA several times. Much of the inspiration to the songs on the album stems from these experiences. In addition to this, random pieces of conversation that I hear on TV or in the street, newspaper articles, or a line or two in a book can inspire me just as much.
I’ve always enjoyed playing music and done so ever since I was very young. I have been through the usual array of instruments, like flute and piano, and I actually played the bassoon for several years in my early teens. Still, playing guitar and singing has always been a favourite pastime.
Even though I have never been particularly interested in literature, I’ve always enjoyed writing enormously. It gradually dawned on me that I was actually capable of writing stories in verse. To my good fortune, an inspiring English teacher at my Upper Secondary School convinced me that I was also capable of doing so in English.
The love of music and of writing has stayed with me ever since, and I’m truly happy about the fact that this at long last has resulted in this album. You can listen to some of the songs on www.myspace.com/andersstubkjaer – and buy them all on ITunes Europe. All the lyrics are available on this website.
If you have any comments, or questions, then do drop me a line.
Kind regards,
Anders
