About Me

I am a 5 string banjoplayer,

I also play guitar, dobro and mandolin. I have been playing music since I was 15, I have been a studiomusician for years and have had the great pleasure of playing music with many of Norways best musicians, I'm forever greatful. I play in a couple of different bands right now;

"Hemisfair"

is a bluegrassprojectband with a new CD out 2007, nominated for Spellemannsprisen the same year. Hemisfair has it's own Myspace site, check it out.

"Meget i sløyd"

is Øystein Sundes band, this is my main occupation, a spectacular bluegrassact, hard working, hard driving and great fun, you can find all sorts of info on the band at http://www.spinner.no

"Strength"

is my duo with Jørun Bøgeberg, the best bassplayer ever :-) info on http://www.terjekinn.com

"Killerbees"

is my rock'n roll trio where I play electric guitar and sing, it's a lot of fun with Per Amundsen on Bass and Stig Eilertsen on the drums.

Influences: On the banjo I guess I've been influenced by Bela Fleck, Earle Scruggs, Tony Trischka, Carl Jackson and Ben Eldridge among others. I think many great players have inspired me, Jerry Douglas on the dobro, David Grisman on the mandolin as well as Adam Steffey, Rob and Ronnie McCoury, Tony Rice, Bryan Sutton. The Beatles, Stevie Ray Vaughan and of course Jimi Hendrix. I've also been influenced by all the great players I have played with over the years, such as Jørun Bøgeberg, Kalle Aasland, Jeff Wasserman, Warren Carlstrøm, Øystein Sunde, Knut Hem, Hans Graasvold, Lars Albrecht, Cindy Cashdollar, Lars Håvard Haugen, just to name a few...
