Band Members: I do a lot of gigging all by myself and my six-stringed bassguitar. I also bring along this electric "cittern"/"mandolin", built by bassguitarmaker Listerud on request. This thing sounds big and loud in a dynamic way. My voice is in here too, along with my songs. Sometimes I play DUO with guitarplayer Nils Einar Vinjor and sometimes there is a JB Trio out there weavin` and wailin` mainly with drummer Trond Augland. Other collaborators in music every now and then are great musician-pals as Terje Kinn, Jonny Aasgård, Tollak Ollestad, Hem .... oh I probably forgot some along the way ... y`know seasons are changing all the time ....
Influences: Daniel Lanois, Ry Cooder, Tom Waits, Little Feat, Dylan, U2, Springsteen, Jaco Pastorius, Steve Earle, Return To Forever, Stones, Beatles, Monkees.....
Sounds Like: MYSELF..... I hope .... but I guess some sources of inspiration from my influences shines through every now and then here and there .... but I dare to say that nobody plays my AXE the way I do....just because there is not many that plays this Fender VI .... check out the basstard album ....
