World-renowned Swedish guitarist Andreas Öberg was born in Stockholm in 1978. As a teenage Swedish tennis prodigy, Andreas Oberg had to make a tough decision of whether to continue his sport or pursue his true love, playing guitar. Fortunately, he chose the latter, and his agility and grace on the fret board have made him one of the most fluent young stylists playing today. He has worked with Les Paul, Toots Thielemans, John Patitucci, Bireli Lagrene, Richard Galliano, Martin Taylor, Jimmy Rosenberg, David Kikoski, Bucky Pizzarelli, Lewis Nash, Joey DeFrancesco, Mark Murphy, Stochelo Rosenberg, John Pizzarelli, just to name a few. Possessing the rare talent to master many different music styles, Andreas Öberg's obvious energy and brilliant technique constantly impresses listeners all over the world. Frequently appearing and performing on TV and radio shows, Andreas is also regularly featured in international music and guitar magazines.

Öberg this far has recorded four solo  albums and one DVD. His latest album ‘My Favorite Guitars’ was released on Resonance Records, US, in 2008. The album reached number 22 on the US radio jazz chart. Andreas was also a soloist on the album ‘Resonance big band’, reaching number 5 in July 2009 and winning a Grammy. Lately Andreas has focused more on song writing and currently works Match Music /. Universal. Andreas' new album ‘Six String Evolution’ will be released on Resonance Records in May/June 2010 and will be followed by a US-tour. The album features Andreas together with John Patitucci, Dave Kikoski, Lewis Nash and special guests.

He makes his Ireland debut this September, collaborating through original music and standards with Ireland’s drumming star David Lyttle. Lyttle’s long list of collaborations of this kind includes Greg Osby, Jean Toussaint, Tommy Smith, Soweto Kinch, Jaleel Shaw and Jonathan Kreisberg.
