Swedish singer/songwriter/guitarist Eddie Nystrom, best known for running a house band for Swedish national television since 1996, has performance credits that include stints with pop/rock recording artists Willie Nile and Eric Bazilian and a 1994 appearance on the solo effort from the Saints' Chris Bailey, 54 Days at Sea. Nystrom wrote and sang lead on all the songs on his solo debut, which featured a bevy of talented (mostly Swedish) touring musicians. Nystrom also played all the guitars and most of the bass lines. That debut, Leap of Faith, was recorded in various studios throughout Malmo and Stockholm, Sweden, and released in late 2000. ~ Roxanne Blanford
