What is it they say? ‘Once is an event, twice is a repetition, and three times is a tradition'. And isn't that one of the most important things you do in December? Namely, taking care of different traditions? So come and join in this tradition, you too! As Leif Tore Lindø in Stavanger Aftenblad said about the record release concert in 2022: ‘If you go and you're not happy, I'll give you what the ticket cost.’
In 2022, after several years in a row with their traditional Christmas concert in Skur 2 in Stavanger, these four recorded a long-awaited Christmas album with their own and distinctive arrangements of some of the finest Christmas songs we have. Grappa Musikkforlag was responsible for the release. The album received fantastic reviews and was named the best Christmas album of the year by the renowned music magazine Lira. It was also named one of the best Christmas records of the year by both Dag og Tid and Dagens Næringsliv. It was physically sold out in all stores during December of the same year, and was streamed more than 50,000 times on various streaming services during the first week. In 2023, they released two more singles, and the two releases have been played frequently on NRK P2 Jazz every Christmas since. On the occasion of this year's tour, they are releasing another single.
