In the spring of 2021, Karin Okkenhaug contacted drummer Hermund Nygård and asked him if he played anything other than drums. He certainly did - and together they have established a musical friendship, which has led to almost 100 concerts played over the past couple of years. Karin and Hermund have each worked with names such as Bjørn Eidsvåg, The Real Thing, Sharp 9, deLillos, Jarle Bernhoft and Anita Skorgan. They have also played concerts with Silje Nergaard and Hallgrim Bratberg, a concept that saw the light of day at the Winter Jazz Festival in March this year. With more than 40 years in the industry between them, they bring experience and inspiration from different genres such as pop, folk, jazz and improv, and the audience gets to experience a close and playful duo.
"What strikes me immediately is their presence and the joy of playing together on stage (...) They deliver a brilliant concert, filled with the joy of playing, with a strong presence and beautiful lyrics, arrangements and not least solid vocals." - Gunnar Ingebrigtsen The duo brings along a small load of instruments, and together they create a soundscape that feels much bigger than, and just as small as, the number of people on stage would suggest. The duo writes in Norwegian, with lyrics about life and relationships. Karin Okkenhaug: vocals, keyboards, violin, percussion etc.
Hermund Nygård: guitars, bass, drums, percussion, piano, choir, and more.
