Biography
Janne Schaffer, born on September 24, 1945, in Stockholm, is one of Sweden's most prominent guitarists and composers. Over a career spanning more than 60 years, he has appeared on nearly 5,000 recordings and released over 30 solo albums, including collaborations with groups like Electric Banana Band. He is also known for his work as a session guitarist for international artists and groups such as ABBA, Bob Marley, and Toto. Schaffer grew up in Blackeberg, Stockholm, and began his musical journey playing the piano before switching to guitar. He was involved in the progressive rock band Svenska Löd AB and has worked with artists like Ted Gärdestad, Cornelis Vreeswijk, and Björn J:son Lindh. His 1978 album Earmeal, recorded in Hollywood with the Porcaro brothers, is particularly well-regarded. Schaffer remains active both on stage and in the studio, and his passion for music and teaching lives on through his involvement with the Guitar Academy and his own concerts.
