Guitar master Knut Reiersrud is poised for a Stavanger visit together with an explosive new album in his bag of tricks. Recorded in Studio Paradiso, the album will be released in January on the Jazzland Records label.

Reiersrud’s band comprises four of Norway’s most prominent and hardest- working rhythmic and melodic suppliers. Keyboardist David Wallumrød, guitarist Bjørn Holm, bassist Nikolai Hængsle Eilertsen and drummer Andreas Bye are, quite simply, a regal constellation from the Norwegian music scene’s topmost echelon.

 

Reiersrud himself is a megalith within Norwegian music, having developed his own distinctive expression with elements drawn from many musical styles. He is accoladed both as a guitarist and composer and is internationally recognised for his many collaborations with other artists. What makes him unique, however, is his ability to always remain relevant and refreshingly innovative.

 

Line-up: Knut Reiersrud – guitars; David Wallumrød – keyboards, Bjørn Holm – guitar; Nikolai Hængsle Eilertsen – bass; Andreas Bye – drums
