Bare Fjas & Blågras // Lørdagsgodt // CD

"Lørdagsgodt" is a charming and enjoyable children's record - for your and old. 

Prepare for the weekend spirit and good fun when the country and bluegrass band Bare fjas & Blågras releases their album "Lørdagsgodt" (Saturday Sweets). Saturday Sweets are something everyone can associate with because who isn't looking forward to sweets and a rollicking good time on Saturday? 

The band is continuing the heritage of Christiania Fusel og Blaagress with Øystein Sunde, while also adding a solid dose of Knutsen and Ludvigsen. You will enjoy the songs about cowboy Roy, boring adult birthdays, how good it is to call a friend, and of course the song about our favourite Saturdays sweets. This lively trio grew up in various parts of rural Norway, and far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city they see many similarities between bluegrass and Norwegian folk music. 

Bare fjas og Blågras finds a natural link between country people, cowboys, country and western, and bluegrass, and they want to make this musical genre more accessible for children. "The great thing about playing bluegrass for children is that it's a very acoustic and direct genre, and this brings the children closer to the song and the instruments. It's simply music that generates joy and energy for young and old alike", says Øyvind Smidt, the band's singer. 

The band Bare fjas og Blågras is Øyvind Smidt, mandolin and vocals, Fritz Flåmo Eidsvaag on banjo and double bass, and Hans Martin Storrusten who plays guitar, dobro and pedal steel.
