Ron & Julie

The musical "Ron & Julie", to which I've written the original story and most of the music, book and lyrics, will have a workshop performance this summer.

The premiere has been postponed to an unknown date.

Also, Björn Skifs, performer of the 1974 US #1 "Hooked On A Feeling" as well as script writer of several blockbuster movies in Sweden, recently read the script and gave it good critizism.

He especially praised the lyrics, and certain aspects of the plot.

Check out the promosite.

Welcome

You've entered the dome of aspiring Swedish songwriter/author Jimmy Granström; more well know under the alias Woodriver. You're about to discover my lyrical works and musical concepts among other things.

Ron & Julie

This show is based on a musical trilogy
about a character named Ron (surprise,
surprise), whose life we follow since his
birth in 1979 in the "City of Dreams" to
his death on another planet at the age of
seventy.

Hegenia - the Trilogy

This is the story of a medieval fantasy land
where peace once prevailed, but was hope-
lessly struck by war by one man's fatal
mistake.

Unfortunately, the Swedish "High School"-
production won't happen, but on the other
hand a very talented composer/scriptwriter
named George Willson (from "Tubkas
Entertainment
") has decided he'll write the
music and book together with me.
