Bjørn Berge

Bjørn Berge is probably the Norwegian blues-artist who, more often than others, dares to follow his own paths in order to find his personal musical medium of expression. Since his soloist debut with the album Blues Hit Me (1999), the indicator has pointed in but one direction – upwards. The proof of this is his two Norwegian Grammy awards (Spellemannprisen) which he received for Stringmachine and Illustrated Man. Bjørn’s uncompromising style and distinctive character find their clearest expression when he really enjoys himself – alone on the stage with his guitars and his “stompcase”.
