Heavy Gauge

Description

The husky blues of Bjorn Berge! Bjorn Berge is the Norwegian blues guitarist/singer/artist who dares to follow a unique path to find his own musical expression. With his two Norwegian Grammy Awards, it's safe to say that Bjorn's uncompromising style has captivated an audience that is fascinated when he truly enjoys himself, alone on stage with his guitars and his "stompcase": with Bjorn Berge, the blues seems to have no limits! With "Heavy Gauge," he once again delivers exquisite guitar playing, ballads, blues, and plenty of "good time music." The album features nine original songs, six with Bjorn solo and three with his band. And always his gravelly, broken-glass voice! Those who have seen him live consider him a musical phenomenon, a true performer, and a virtuoso of the twelve-string guitar. Berge is a musical highwayman skilled enough to leave mediocrity by the roadside and take with him only what can enrich his music and performance.
