About Me


Nordgarden is a Norwegian singer/songwriter from Hamar, a small town just north of Oslo. He was born and raised in the countryside, where the rest of the world would be distant and far away.One day he decided to head for the big city to hear a man called Bruce Springsteen. Ever since that day nothing would be the same. He bought his first acoustic guitar, began writing his own songs and spent one year studying songwriting at a music school. After fourteen months of civil service he decided to go south and began a life of busking in the streets of Bologna, Italy.Eventually he was discovered by Italian indie label Stoutmusic. With whom he released his first cd, “Terje Nordgarden”. His debut was well received by both the media and the crowd and he played over 50 gigs around in Italy, among others on the Main Stage at the Arezzo Wave Festival in 2003.The same summer he went back home to Norway to discover his roots. He began the work on what would become the album “A Brighter Kind of Blue” which would be released after years of touring. In the meantime he also had to go through a crucial operation on his vocal chords that prevented him from singing for half a year.Overcoming all obstacles the album was finally released in Norway in June 2006 and it got the Norwegian press cheering; Stein Østbøe at VG wrote: “The closest a Norwegian singer/songwriter has come the timeless qualities of Ryan Adams” – in Italy the renowned magazine Rolling Stone stated it was “A mature and a convincing album”. The album became a personal milestone and defined Nordgardens sound and opened up the doors to several countries.


Terje and Alex Akela were the guest of Giel Beelen in his program Nachtegiel on november 10th 2007. Click here to see the show!
Below is my Nordgarden Youtube playlist. There are 17 must-see videos in there :)
And here is the amazing Instrumental "Metronome". Ever great Terje on guitar, brilliant violin playing by Alex Akela and all that combined with my own filming qualities :P (with a great camera, not mine unfortunately..) This video was recorded in KHL Amsterdam on November 11th 2007
There is this gorgeous picture that Marco shot, and guess what? It is inspired by a line from "Blessed" :
"There's a tree with its branches in love with the sky" photo by Marco G.
This song. "Sometimes" (from the first album), was recorded in Plasma Firenze, january 20th 2008. Grazie Marco! :)
Venues with Nordgarden-promotion posters : let me know! :P I'd like to put them up way in advance, but at the moment I find out about them a day beforehand or... the day after the gig ;P Obviously I'm still working on my punctuality skills....
