Crossing the Rubicon – Åge Sten Nilsen

Åge Sten Nilsen – Crossing the Rubicon

After serving up a pack of great singles, is Åge Sten Nilsens new album Crossing The Rubicon finally dawning upon us. It’s out on Grappa Musikkforlag on CD, vinyl and streaming services on October 25th.

With «Baby Don’t Be Leave», «Ghost On The Wall», «Jupiter & Venus» and «Fire Meets Fire», Åge Sten Nilsen of Wig Wam fame has once again proved that he is able to create quality music regardless of genres. As with his previous solo efforts, Åge has had a goal that the music on Crossing The Rubicon should not be bound by genre. Rather each song has been arranged based on their unique premisses.

On Crossing The Rubicon you get music without programed instruments, auto-tune and sampling. In it’s essence it is recorded live, and every song and lyric are incredibly personal.

– This is the closest thing you can come to a musical diary over my past two years, he says.

In other words Åge makes sure that you guilt free can enjoy country, rock, pop and more with songs about love and intimacy. These tracks vary from what Åge makes with his rock band AMMUNITION.

On Crossing The Rubicon the musicians are Freddy Holm, Atle Rakvåg, Eivind Kløverød and Ola Aanje, who are Åges solo band The Butterflies.
