Roots Session II | Kokomo Kings (SE) + Louie Digman (UK) + South of Savoy (EE) • Roots Session 2024
Get ready to boogie with The Kokomo Kings - the best low down boogie band in the neighbourhood! The swedish band has gained a reputation of playing an uncompromising, no-nonsence brew on a variety of low-down rocking roots-music, grounded deep in the blues. They have been described as being "more rock´n´roll than rock´n´roll" and having "energy level 11". “The whole idea with Kokomo Kings is to play nothing but primitive, groovy Saturday-night music made for dancing.”
Kokomo Kings got together in 2012 to record the debut 45rpm vinyl-single “Artificial Natural”. It took off well, and many blues- and rock´n´roll-fans said it was among the best sounding recordings for years!
The Ameripolitan Music Awards in Memphis nominated the Kokomo Kings to best rockabilly band 2018, and the band won the "Band of the Year 2018" and the "Entertainers of the Year 2021" award from The Blues Lounge Radio Show in the U.K. In 2022 they won both the “Entertainers of the Year” and “Artist of the year” from The Blues Lounge Radio Awards.
Since the start, they´ve performed at clubs and festivals in Sweden, Denmark, United Kingdom, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Norway, France, Austria, Switzerland, The Czech Republic and Spain.
Roots Session is excited to present The Kokomo Kings in Estonia and Finland, in 2024 October!
The members:
Martin Abrahamsson: vocals and guitar

Since Roots Session likes to keep the live music going all night long, we will have two artists warming up the night: Louie Digman’s Piano Bar and South of Savoy.
Roots Session is a fresh concert series showcasing roots rock, blues, soul, gospel and country music from abroad and Estonia. Roots Session is organised in cooperation with Blues Estonia, Muusikalinn Tallinn and the Sweden-Estonia Cooperation Fund.
