Sondre Bratland
As a folk singer Sondre Bratland has been renowned for decades , not least , perhaps , for his interpretations of religious folk tunes .
This evening in Logen you will experience another side of the singer .
– I will play a collection of songs that reflects my development , from old tunes from Telemark via country and Irish inspired songs to songs for which I have either written the lyrics or composed the melody . The lyrics I pick are what I will call words of wisdom from well-known writers such as Olav H . Hauge , Jacob Sande , and Hank Williams .
He brings with him , in his own words , ‘ the good helpers from the fairy tales ’ – among them guitarist Knut Reiersrud and fiddle player Annbjørg Lien , his musical partners of many years with whom he has collaborated in various constellations on a number of recordings and concerts .
