From Vardö, Norway in the north to Maputo, Mozambique in the south…Influences are rooted in the late sixties tradition of powertrios such as The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Cream + the early fusion experiments of Tony Williams Lifetime, Miles Davis, Weather Report etc.. elements of Funk and Punk can also be found Sky High´s musicscape, which is very open and free.
