Across the Country – Swedish country with an American soul Robin Alm and Marcus Almgren, two close friends and musical soul mates, make up the duo Across the Country. With over 20 years of friendship and music-making together, they have created a unique sound that combines the feel of American country-pop with a Nordic tone. The duo's songs reflect their own emotional lives and at the same time take inspiration from the magnificent Swedish nature – where peaceful forests and vast meadows are woven together with modern popular culture. They also draw strength from big names in the country genre such as Toby Keith, Chris Stapleton and Luke Combs.
