Berge, Bjorn Hailing from the land of Hardanger fiddles and fjords, the mountainous profile of Bjorn Berge and his 12-string guitar cuts an odd figure in Norway. Sporting swirling tattoos on his massive arms, a pirate-like goatee and two gold earrings, the bluesman wields his guitar with impressive dexterity…and diversity. Born in 1968, Berge is an unremitting one-man-show, ceaselessly touring and recording. Norway has dubbed him “Mr. Stringman” and rewarded him with several "Spelemannsprisen", the Norwegian Grammy. |
