About Me

The first hope of an American dream for the skinny little Norwegian began with the band Wyatt Will back in 1996 when he discovered his talent for song writing and fascination for country music and bluegrass. Traditional rock he had been into for a long time, and when he put those two together…This lineup has been around since the 2002, chasing the American dream from way up north. A few changes in the staff, still they keep on doing what they love the most. Making their music, a blend of country, alt. country and rock 'n roll.From uptempo hillbilly tunes to slow, heartbroken songs about lost love, lack of money, heaven and hell and almost no faith to mankind.The debut ep "Coming Around" recorded and produced by Rune Thoen i Holmestrand Studios is out now! Shop at www.cdon.com or in recordstore near you!
