Here is how artists from the U.K. & U.S. are fueling the Norwegian Americana scene
On Aug. 30-31, Norway's second city played host to the Bergen International Americana Festival. It welcomed independent British artists Hannah White and Jess Morgan as well as Americans Miranda Lee Richards, Maesa Pullman , her cousin Rosa Pullman, Sarabeth Tucek and Clare Means. Sited at local clubs Ole Bull Scene and Underlig, the event fostered a spirit of genuine collaboration with Norwegian musicians to an enthusiastic and attentive local audience.
It's a long-term affair, too: ten years ago, Gundersen invited Jess Morgan to the city to record her debut album there. "It's a circle that started with Jess and ended with Hannah,” he says. “I was so impressed with the Bergen audiences at the festival, who took in marathon concerts with artists and songs that were all new for them.”
The union underlines how, even in uncertain times for Britain's political relationship with Europe, its musical interaction remains alive and well. This summer, the Nordic Connections have travelled to the U.K. to play with White at the Black Deer and Larmer Tree Festivals and will do so again for the British Country Music Festival in Blackpool on Saturday . The Anglo-Norwegian alliance is the result of White's frequent visits to Norway for live engagements.
Morgan, based in Norwich in the east of England, made her own Nordic connection when Gundersen and Daniel Birkeland produced her first record, 2010's independently-released“It was a wonderful thing to see my friend of ten years in his element,” she says of Gundersen. “When I met H.P., I had no contacts or connections or any clue now to ride the fast-becoming digital wave.
