Self-titled debut album out now available at Spotify and other streaming sevices!
25 year old Linus’s interest in classic rock 'n' roll and rockabilly came early in his life. At the age of ten when he first heard Chuck Berry's ”Roll Over Beethoven”, he knew what it was all about - ROCK 'N' ROLL! Around the same time his discovery of Jerry Lee Lewis made the decision easy that the piano would become the main instrument, even though he also plays other instruments such as guitar, bass and drums.
During his late teens he developed his unique voice and singing style that together with his piano playing has evolved to the artist ”Linus Zander”.
2019 Linus and his band The West Coast Boys participated in The Swedish Country Music Championship where they won in the rockabilly category. The same year he released his first Ep "Standing By Myself".
In 2020 Linus signed a digital distribution deal with Atenzia Records which resulted in his release of the debut album "Linus Zander”. The album was met with good criticism, noticed in magazines such as "Får Jag Lov" and which received good spread on both Spotify and YouTube. Among the songs from the album, ”Rock 'n' Roll Woman" currently has streamed over 100,000 listens on Spotify.
In 2022, Linus and the band toured extensively around Sweden and entertained at among others, ”Västerås Summer Meet”, ”Wheels and Wings", CCW Rättvik and ”End of summer meet” in Emmaboda. Performances that proved and really showed that Linus Zander and The West Coast Boys belong, and is here to stay on the modern Rockabilly and Rock’n’ Roll scene and that they always put on a great and entertaining show.
In 2023, Linus is working on his second album, which will be released during the fall.
Linus and his father Niclas, who write their own songs, constantly have new songs in the works, almost one song is released every month.
The music is best described as a blend of classic piano rock mixed with rockabilly, country, blues and New Orleans boogie, which with a modern vintage sound really shows how "real" rock ’n’ roll should be played and sound like!
