Seven Doors Hotel

New album, The Great Northern, out April 28th!

About Me

I landed in Norway and there on the front page of the newspaper is Willie Nelson with his arms around a Norwegian musician. Willie was making friends in Norway. A good thing to keep in mind is a bit of respect for one's elders. If Willie was doing it, I needed to make some friends in Norway. And thus began my relationship with Seven Doors Hotel. The band rocks, the band sways, the band grooves. How is it that you end up in a place so far from home and find music that touches you in a back home way? I made friends with Alex, the singer. We met at the statue park and discussed the upcoming schedules in each others lives. Finding that we each had some downtime, we got together and I recorded a few songs at his home studio. He handed me this record and I took it home and listened to it all afternoon. "Black hair on my pillow." There is a lot of music on here you can relate to. I met his girlfriend and we walked through the snow in Oslo to have a pizza on a Sunday afternoon. It's the people that you meet along the way when you're an itinerant musician that counts. Alex and his band are good people. Listen to this album you'll find out! Let's play some heavy metal! MARK OLSON (the Jayhawks/the Creekdippers)..
