About Me


Call me Ken if you're not from Norway. I'm from Sømna in Nordland. In August 2006 me and my little family moved to Ås in Akershus, after a nine years stay in Bø in Telemark. This means the old Volvo will be often on the road heading for Bø, where I play the bass in Ni Liv and Hanks a Lot .
I've worked (among many things) as a pub manager and as a public culture worker/planner, but most of my time and present with drug addicted people.
A freelance musician since the late eighties, I perfom with the mentioned bands, and earlier with bands like BøGras, Red Pieces, Bluesbyrået, D'Lillys, Anne Kristin , Langås Trio and Publiners .
