Edin Adahl

Great popband with west coast touch...

Frank and Simon Ådahl started together in 1968. Their first record, an EP, was released in 1969. They sang gospel songs in different churches and toured all over Europe. They were only 11 and 8 years old then. They released three albums in the seventies as "Frank and Simon" Their elder brother Dan was also with them at the time. 1978 they met two other brothers, Edin, and they formed a successful group called "Edin/Adahl". Edin/Adahl started touring full time in 1981. 

They were well known as a christian band in Scandinavia. In 1984 they released the album "Alibi" in the States. The song "Saviour" entered the CCM charts. In 1990 they won the Swedish entry to the Eurovision Song Contest and after that the song "Heaven into my soul" went in as nr.1 on the CCM charts for seven weeks. Edin/Adahl toured Europe with the American band "Petra" in 1992. In December -92 they split the band. Frank and Simon started to work as musicians to other artists. Now, ten years later they are back again as "Ådahl". The single "Don't worry" is released in Scandinavia and the full lenght album is going to be out in February 2003.
