INDIENATIONAL TOUR

This is a project started by the three songwriters, Gustav Haggren (SWE), Helena Arlock (SWE) and Christian Cuff (USA) who met in Manhattan, New York City in February 2007. Gustav and Helena had come to USA to tour where they met Christian after a show. 3 months and 3728 miles later, this trio of three separate songwriters had performed 52 shows!

4 months later, the trio did the same kind of tour - in Europe this time. The result was 40 shows in 10 countries The tour was named "Indienational Tour", because it features independent artists from all over the world.

The goal is to bring independent music back to life. It is getting more and more difficult for an artist to support herself/himself and tour without giving in and signing with a label, and unfortunately, that can be a slippery slope for a songwriter.

Musicians book shows for other musicians and the goal is to create an exciting and vivid atmosphere when it comes to live-shows. One important thing is that musicians from different countries, cultures or backgrounds get to meet and can perform together.

The artists playing on the Indienational Tour can vary from tour to tour. Please check the show info for more information on what artists will play that show.
