Biography

Swedish folk singer, born on January 27, 1937 in Högalid, Stockholm, Södermanland. Akerström is especially known for his interpretations of [A=Carl Michael Bellman]'s music, but Åkerström's first LP, released in 1963, was about another songwriter, [a1162889]. In 1971, Åkerström was a co-founder of [l98504], the Association of Professional Troubadours, and the association's first chairman. [l98504] works to safeguard the interests of professionally active song artists. During the 1970s and 1980s, [l98504] also helped their members with artist booking and released some of their recordings. Åkerström was the initiator to the founding of '[a1162889] Sällskapet' (the [a1162889] Society) on February 7, 1982, and the society's first chaiman, a position which he held for three and a half more years until his death in 1985. Åkerström was found dead in his flat in August 1985 in Karlskrona, Sweden. Father of singer and songwriter [a=Cajsa Stina Åkerström].
