Summary: (http://dogoodradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/NICKWALLBERG.jpg)Nick Wallberg & Tram Sessions put bands on random Melbourne trams for our commuting pleasure. Their mission is simple, to smash our mundane public transport commute with live music from established local and international superstars and provide a platform for up and coming artists. Born in Sweden the land that reared music ground breakers such as Roxette, Ace of Base, Yngwie Malmsteen and the little known Abba, Nick Wallberg made Australia his home. Looking to combine his passion for live music with a uniquely Melbourne icon, Nick experimented with Tram Sessions guerrilla style and soon realised he'd need to get the Yarra Trams (www.yarratrams.com.au/) on board (yep, pun intended) with the Tram Sessions vision. After some (legal) stalking and months of calling like jilted boyfriend Tram Sessions was granted a trial and has now become the most interactive, yet illusive live music event in Melbourne. And for those who can't see a Tram Session live, all performances are recorded and available to enjoy of the Tram Sessions (www.tramsessions.com) website.
