Erik Wennergren är en singer/songwriter från Undersåker i Jämtland. Han har tidigare gett ut skivorna Tales from the earth (2012) och Where My Dreams Grow (2015). Inspiration hämtar han från sina resor ute i världen och i sitt eget inre. Såväl miljöfrågor som filosofiska/spirituella tankar går att finna i texterna. Musikaliskt kommer influenserna ofta från 60-talet med artister som The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Neil Young, Bob Dylan med flera. Erik uppträder mestadels ensam, ibland med stöd med stöd av en loop-station, men även i mindre konstellationer eller med fullt band. Han gör även trubadur-framträdanden då han spelar låtar från sina inspirationskällor (The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Neil Young, Elvis, Bob Dylan med flera). Erik spelar också bas i Led Zeppelin-tribute-bandet Hindenburg.
Videon till låten Planet B (2012) går att finna längre ner på sidan. Låten dokumenterar demonstrationen under klimattoppmötet i Köpenhamn 2009 och skrevs efter att Erik varit där och demonstrerat.
Erik Wennergren is a singer/songwriter from Undersåker, Sweden. He has previously released the albums Tales From The Earth (2012) and Where My Dreams grow (2015). His inspiration comes from traveling around the world as well as in his own mind. His own songs are about life and the world we all share. They deal with philosophical / spiritual matters as well as environmental issues. Musically, the inspiration often comes from music from the 60's, such as The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Neil Young, Bob Dylan and many others. Mostly, Erik performs on his own, sometimes supported by a loop-station, but also in smaller constellations as well as with a band. He also does troubadour gigs where he plays songs by some of his favorite artists (The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Neil Young, Elvis, Bob Dylan etc.) Erik is also bass player in the Led Zeppelin Tribute Band Hindenburg.On the 13th of June 2012 Erik released his debute single Planet B along with a music video:
