About

Chris Erik Band is a Swedish jazz fusion band. Influenced by great bands like Chick Corea Elektric Band, TOTO and Steps Ahead, the band displays the playfulness and grooves of the 70's and 80's mixed with the sounds of today. The members are experienced session players and constantly explore new areas of their playing, making the music feel young and exciting. The continuous exploring pushes the music further on and to new levels and directions.

"Without a doubt it is a high-level work, as I said before, being an instrumental EP, it is not arid or dense, since the development of the songs is especially complex, something that is to be appreciated. Influences from the big names of the Jazz Fusion scene, like Dave Grusin, for example, very well captured by young talents from Ingesund." - ViriAOR, 2022

The band consists of Simon Sidén (bass), Alexander Granlund (guitar), Mats Liljedahl (saxophone), Edvin Dannäs (keyboards) and Christoffer Eriksson (drums). They have been seen at festivals such as Putte i Parken, Arvika Hamnfest and Åmåls Bluesfest. All the members are, or have been, studying or teaching at Ingesund College of Music in Arvika, where the band was formed. 

CEB's first studio recording, In Motion, was released on 30th of September 2022. The EP consists of four songs recorded between 14th and 19th of June 2022, at Ingesund's studio.
