Øklands is a folk/pop group from Randaberg in Rogaland, Norway, whose music conveys honest and warm thoughts about life, both good and bad. The group consists of siblings Aina Økland Schøld, Kjetil Økland and Merete Økland Espedal on vocals, and husbands Aril Schøld (acoustic guitar, percussion and div) and Tor Kjetil Espedal (piano). Individually, they have extensive experience in the Norwegian music scene, and together they form a strong and homogeneous group.
The Øklands have put together an atmospheric repertoire, with an emphasis on good Norwegian songs related to the Christmas holidays. They are very concerned with communication and good contact with the audience. Their family contact and unity is noticeable from the stage, and this gives their performance an extra dimension.
"A close and genuine concert, and thank you for everything you communicated. It was an evening that spoke to the heart through music, song, words, lights, decorations and images. The best Christmas concert I've ever been to."
