Sounds Like: Early in the summer of 2006, Lars Hammersland joined Trond Olsen and his band in a gig doing some of Trond’s songs along with other material. The intention was to try out this material, and check responce. The guys found great joy working together and decided to continue. The result has become a cool, funky, swinging and modern kind of blues music. For gigs, they have picked tunes from various blues giants like Albert Collins, Robben Ford, etc., beside the original material. These guys contribute on the promo cd: Trond Olsen - guitar and vocal / Lars Hammersland - Keyboards / Anders Damås - Drums / Reidar Brandsrud - Bass.
