Cookies N Beans

Cookies N Beans are Charlotte Centervall, Linda Ström and Frida Öhrn.

Three girls with three different and incredible voices.
Three girls with guitars and harmonicas, stomp and handclaps.
Add to that a contagious energy on stage and you’ll get an idea of who Cookies N Beans are.

Testimonies reveal that, more than once, large and big bearded men with tattoos have bursted into tears while listening to Cookies playing live! But they don’t just serve heartbreaking ballads: They also play raw and sweat country music that makes it impossible to stand still! Among the more significant influences you will find artists like Dolly Parton, Lucinda Williams, Gram Parso, and Emmylou Harris.

The story of Cookies N Beans takes us back to 2003 and a small basement in the Southern part of Stockholm, the indeed modest venue for their first gig. It was just meant to be an entertaining evening for friends and family, but the feedback and the sensation of playing together was just too overwhelming to let it end there. This evening became the start of a more or less never ending tour, and by now they have made over 300 gigs in Sweden and Europe. In the fall of 2008 they won the category ”Alternative Country” at the prestigious Swedish Country Music Championship, in February 2009 they performed the song \\\"What If\\\" at the Swedish Eurovision Song Contest, and in the summer of 2009 Cookies N Beans entered the stage as supporting act for the great Rosanne Cash.

In February 2010 Cookies N Beans released their second album Beg, Borrow and Steal, and already more than 10 000 albums are sold.
