Vocalist and harp-player Rune Myhren started his musical carreer in 1990. Myhren is inspired by great harp-players like Rice "Sonny Boy 2" Miller, Big Walter Horton and George "Harmonica" Smith. With a mix of these genres Myhren has throughout the last 16 years tried to adapt his own style.
Myhren has toured and shared stage with bluesartists like Bob Margolin, James Harman, Snooky Pryor, Mel Brown, Mark Hummel, Gary Primich, R.J. Mischo, Billy Branch, Terry Hanck and Junior Watson. It was the friendship towards some of these artists that brought him over to San Francisco in September 2003 with his CD-project - "Sampled Minds" - produced by Garth Webber.
