Anton is a 25-year-old blues musician from the small town of Gislaved in Småland, whose goal is to carry on the blues tradition while giving it a fresh new look.
Despite their relatively short career, they have quickly gained attention on the blues scene and have been nominated in their home country in categories such as “Band of the Year,” “Live Artist of the Year,” and “Newcomer of the Year.” In 2024, they won the Swedish Blues Challenge and represented Sweden at the 2025 European Blues Challenge in Split.
At concerts, the Anton Hultquist Trio’s performances are often described as energetic and powerful. Their repertoire honors the roots of the blues while blending it with original compositions and contemporary influences.
The band features Anton alongside William Karlsson (drums) and Isak Rydh (bass).
