Tilda Feuk and Jonas Hermansson met by chance in Stockholm, Sweden in 2014, drawn together by a shared instinct for melody and storytelling. What began as a spontaneous jam session soon became something more—something that would eventually carry them across the Atlantic to Nashville, where Tennessee Tears was born.
Rooted in storytelling and driven by a shared love for both classic country and melodic pop, the duo began shaping a sound that bridges two worlds—Scandinavian clarity and the warmth of the American South.
Tennessee Tears builds on contrasts: Scandinavian cool meets Southern heat, while clean pop hooks cut through raw, emotional storytelling. It’s not a sound that tries to fit—it simply lands where it lands. Early on, they teamed up with songwriter Billy Burnette and a close circle of Nashville players to record I Love You Whatever. The track climbed to No. 2 on the Swedish iTunes chart and set everything in motion.
That sense of contrast runs throughout their music—north and south, light and shadow, heartbreak and hope. It’s present in songs like Do You Still Think Of Me, Head Over Heels, and later releases such as Little Of Me, Queen Of Pearls, and Our Differences—each one capturing a moment, a feeling, a piece of their story.
Their appearances in Melodifestivalen (Now I Know in 2023 and Yours in 2025) brought them in front of millions—but the core hasn’t changed. Tennessee Tears is still about the feeling you can’t quite shake, the line that hits a little too close, the space between heartbreak and moving on.
In 2026, that story continues with Ashes & Embers, recorded in Nashville—an album that leans into everything they are: contrast, melody, distance, and connection. No clean lines. No easy labels. Just Tennessee Tears, exactly where they’re meant to be.
