Mikael Erlandsson needs no further introduction when it comes to melodic rock.
He has released seven successful solo albums and a lot of titles with groups like Phenomena and Salute among others. Between 2006-2018 Erlandsson fronted the Swedish super group Secret Service which he toured with live all over the world.
Together with the fantastic guitar player Andy Malecek from the successful German hard rock band Fair Warning he founded the band LAST AUTUMNS DREAM in 2003 which also featured Ian Haugland, Mic Michaeli and John Leven of Europe fame at the time.
Last Autumn’s Dream went on releasing another 14 albums with different line ups including great musicians like Jamie Borger (Treat) and Marcel Jacob (Talisman). They toured Japan, England and Germany but decided to take a break in 2018.
Shortly after, Erlandsson founded the group AUTUMN’S CHILD who have released five extremely successful albums so far (“Autumn’s Child” – 2019, “Angel’s Gate” – 2020, “Zenith” – 2022, “Starflower” – 2023 and “Tellus Timeline” 2024).

The group features Mikael Erlandsson on vocals, keyboards & guitars, Pontus Åkesson on lead guitar, Rickard Johnsson on drums, Claes Andreasson on keys and Magnus Rosén on bass. Additional vocals by Johanna Hjort on “Lovesong”.
