The Music Room with Thomas Dybdahl, Red Shoes, James Summerfield,
Thomas Dybdahl is one of the most talented singer-songwriters to emerge from the Norwegian music scene in recent years The New York Times said “Thomas Dybdahl writes songs that move in for extreme close-ups: his acoustic guitar, his breathy voice, his vows of love…the tempos are glacial and the instruments few and pristine, so that every gesture is exposed. Anything less than total grace would turn precious and cloying, but Mr. Dybdahl maintains his poise; each song has the delicate suspense of a drawn breath.”
Red Shoes “Ring Around the Land is a crisply executed and beautifully realised collection of well crafted songs” Steve Caseman, R2 – Rock’n'Reel Magazine”A masterful piece of work” Paul Flower, Sunday Mercury
On ‘Count To 10 and Start Again’, his 3rd solo album, James Summerfield returns with a lightness of touch, dark and strange humor and his finely-honed, fantastic ear for melody to tell sweet tales of the biggest blows. It is his best work yet. The album, co-produced with fellow Peel veteran Simon Fox (Grover), is undeniably frank and deals with his dark period yet contains the beautiful melodies and musical arrangements that followers of James’ work will fondly remember. His 12 new songs and the 43 minutes of your life that this record asks for are more than a hint of what the future holds for this fantastic artist.
Sebastian Waldejer Very talented young songwriter from Stavanger with an ear for catchy melodies and interesting arrangements. One to watch.
