JAZZ ON THE TERRACE - Tribute to Booker T. & The M.G.’s
Tribute to Booker T. & The M.G.’s
A well-known jazz band from the USA is visiting Hotel Hehrne. A unique opportunity to experience an international jazz name in an intimate and warm environment.
Booker T. & the M.G.'s were one of the most influential bands in the USA during the 60s and 70s. As the house band at the legendary STAX studio in Memphis, they set the sound for an entire era and accompanied greats such as Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, and Albert King. At the same time, they created timeless instrumental classics such as Green Onions, Time Is Tight, Soul Limbo, Hip-Hug Her and Hang ’Em High.
This evening, their music is celebrated by four highly accomplished Swedish musicians: Bo Hansson (hammond organ), Lars Mellqvist (bass), Henrik Pilquist (guitar), and Roger Mörck (drums).
With the hammond organ at its center, the quartet offers a swinging and respectful interpretation of Booker T. & the M.G.’s most iconic songs – an instrumental journey to the golden age of soul and funk. Between the songs, there will also be opportunities for stories about the band's history, members, and music.

JAZZ ON THE TERRACE - Homage to The Beatles – Margareta Evmark Quartet
Margareta Evmark Quartet
A tribute night to The Beatles in a jazzy style. Margareta Evmark Quartet interprets the immortal songs in a new, emotional way.
After a celebrated concert at Blå Scenen in January, Margareta Evmark Quartet is back – this time in the atmospheric setting at Restad Gård. The requested return not only offers a repeat of the winter's success, but also new interpretations of the Beatles' song treasure.
The quartet consists of Margareta Evmark (vocals/bass), Dan Evmark (piano/keyboard), Peter Sjögren (tenor saxophone and EWI – electronic wind instrument) and Per Boqvist (drums). Together they offer an evening where Beatles music meets jazz – with both swinging uptempo songs and emotional ballads.
The audience can look forward to interpretations of, among others, Got to Get You Into My Life, Daytripper, The Fool on the Hill and Blackbird. With the quartet's expressive and personal arrangements, this will be a musical experience filled with both nostalgia and curiosity.

JAZZ ON THE TERRACE - The Laang way
The Laang Way
An evening with local favorites from Trestad
The first Jazz at Terrazz evening of the year is hosted by The Laang Way – a band with strong connections to the Trestad area. The group consists of Per Laang (saxophone), Karolina Laang (vocals), Per Orvang (guitar) and Simon Jonsson (piano/keyboard).
The band mixes their own compositions with personal interpretations of other people's music. It will be a warm and atmospheric evening in the restaurant with expressive interaction and musical breadth.
Per Laang, with roots in Vargön, has played with many of Sweden's elite artists. Karolina Laang freelances in both music and performing arts, in Sweden and internationally. After her debut album in 2023, she is now working on new music – something we might get to hear live during the evening.
Guitarist Per Orvang from Trollhättan works as a freelance musician and arranger, and Simon Jonsson is active in several groups and especially appreciated for his playing on the Hammond organ.
