Bjørn Berge has for a number of years proven himself as a unique guitarist, an acoustic genius and a formidable live artist.
With his acoustic guitars, he moves mountains and blows the listeners away with hard-hitting arrangements. Berge's fierce and dynamic guitar playing on acoustic guitar travels between blues, rock, funk and ballads. He has previously released 12 studio albums and one live album.
In 2001 and 2002 he received the Norwegian Grammy Award in the Blues category, and the Notodden Blues Festival Blues Award in 2001. In January 2024, he released a new album, in a dark musical blues landscape. The first single is out - and is his version of Deep Purple's classic "Black Night". A song many people relate to, which is important when creating your own versions. A song that is recognizable and "typical", that can withstand being covered without losing its identity.
The arrangements are created spontaneously both backstage and at the concert, but the final arrangements are nevertheless set by testing in front of a live audience. Which is natural, as during his career Bjørn Berge has built up a solid live reputation as a world-class guitarist, which means that he regularly visits major jazz, blues and rock festivals and clubs around Europe and North America.
