^ Those are both great songs by Whistle Bait and the Go Getters. I especially liked "Junkyard Dog" by the Go Getters. I didn't realize rockabilly was popular in Scandinavia.

My current favorite rockabilly musician is
Lance Lipinsky, a great pianist and singer (and guitarist) who plays and sings with incredible ease, charisma, and humor. He's a phenomenal performer.
We saw Lance Lipinsky performing as Jerry Lee Lewis earlier this month in the musical "Million Dollar Quartet" in Chicago, where he has played the role for 5 1/2 years with his final performance in just a few days. I'm glad we saw him while we could!
His own band is called "Lance Lipinsky and the Lovers," with which he plays oldies and his own songs.
Lance Lipinsky - Live in Canada
Here he is playing mostly Jerry Lee Lewis songs in a great performance. He looks like he really loves what he does and his enthusiasm is contagious!
Lance's website offers a thorough and fascinating biography with darling footage from his childhood musical endeavors:

While growing up, Lance didn't know about the rockabilly subculture that has been alive and well, apparently, all these years since the 1950s and '60s, so once he discovered it, he must have been elated to have found his musical home.
Quoting from his bio: "What made this new discovery of the Rockabilly sub culture even more exciting was that the community was made up of predominantly younger people. This wasn't the same audience of old timers in a smokey casino that Lance was use to. This was a real, critical music scene full of younger people, an almost secret society of new fans of an art form thought to be extinct."
