During the covid periode I have been experimented with garageband, backing tracks and exploring the deepest part of my voice.
Retired electro engineer and marketing economist - singing and playing music.
The online presentation started with my membership in the band The Bluesmates. The Bluesmates was founded in Drøbak, Norway, in the late 90s, three of the original members remained members until the end. The band greatest strength was the variety in their repertorie. They played tunes by Fleetwood Mac, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Clash, Finis Tasby, Dr Feelgood, Elmore James, Luther Allison and several others.
The Bluesmates have performed in conserts at Drøbak Blues Festival, Gardermoen Airport Hotel, Sonfestivalen, Mossekonserten, Halmfestivalen i Ski and Vinderfangerbukta Bluesconsert in Drøbak. In addition they have also played at dance parties and other musical arrangements.
The Band played their own versions of well known Blues tunes together with rock Classics.
The studio-versions were performed by: Espen Olavsen - lead-/rythm guitar, Jim Greatorex - lead-/rythmguitar, Robert E. Frøiseth - base, Geir Danielsen - drums, Erik van der Lende lead vocal
During the covid time I started trying to find out what GarageBand was about, and I am still searching/learning/testing/trying out. Awaiting for better times I am trying to find old hits that is suitable for my base-voice. Here I sing to backing tracks.
I also presents a collaboration between the fantastic, Italian blues guitarist Marco Maenza and myself.
