Terje Dokland
I've played and made music off and on since I was a teenager, played in a punk band when punk was new, was known to play through an entire Pink Floyd album on my acoustic, have tinkered with recording over the past couple of years, and currently play the bass in a local band, Burning Vinyl.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I have played as a solo artist on some occasions, both acoustic and as a one-man band with a self-recorded backing track, sometimes as a duo with my old friend Vidar, and recently trying to get some live gigs with our band, Burning Vinyl.
