I am a Norwegian musician based in Oslo. I play the guitar and the banjo and the pedal steel guitar and I also like to play on my sruti boxes and radios. On this web site you can read about my projects my discography find details about my gigs have a look at some photos - even download them if you want. I am also working as a teacher at the State Academy of Music in Oslo and I run the label SOFA with Ingar Zach.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have questions
