Harald Thune med band / Smelteverket

Outlaw Country Music artist and Norwegian Americana Pioneer Harald Thune is one of Norways most critically acclaimed music artists. He is also a well known and much loved radio voice with his six shows a week on 24/7 Country Music Radio “P10 Country”.

Harald possesses a dark, spellbinding voice and some solid and personal songwriting skills. After more than 30 years as a performing and recording artist, six albums, a dozen of singles, a compilation album and over 1700 concerts, Thune´s appeal goes far beyond the ranks of your average Country Music audience.

On stage he performs with passion and joy. However sad his songs sometimes might be, he reveals an impeccable sense of humour when small talking the crowd between songs. His latest album “The Backbounceability of Humans” was released April 20th. Eleven original songs recorded in the reputable Athletic Studio in Halden, Norway under the expert Management of in demand producer Kai Andersen. The outfit featured on the record is high end quality; Rita Eriksen (duet), Norwegian Grammy Award winner Jørund Vålandsmyr (harmony vocals) and Eivind Staxrud (Raga Rockers, producing and playing the guitar) to name a few.

Among Andersen´s many satisfied customers are Seigmenn, Madrugada and Big Bang.
