If the Doobie Brothers had a Norwegian cousin with gospel roots and an impeccable sense of timing, his name would be Ole Børud. Blending west coast soul, funk and gospel, he sings with both heart and precision. No irony, just pure love for the craft. On september 26 he’s finally back with his sixth studio album Sleepwalking Again and a brand-new tour.
Live, he’s joined by some of Norway’s most seasoned soul musicians. Expect tight grooves, strong melodies and serious musical joy – no frills, no posturing. Just solid soul played by people who mean it.
Lineup
Ole Børud – vocals, guitar
Ruben Dalen – drums
Lars-Erik Dahle – bass
Markus Lillehaug Johnsen – guitar
Jens Andreas Kleiven – keys
