Norwegian musicians Thorstein Elvestad y Bjørn Nilsen formed The Jetsurfers in 1999, because they both loved ‘Americana’ and rock music. To complete the band they recruited Vidar Fredsvik and Knut Carlsson. The four musicians began their adventure recording a first album “Saloon” for a small independent Norwegian record label, Coco Pelli Records. Since then on the band regularly played, not only in habitual bars and clubs, but also, in acoustic format, at different prisons in the south of Norway. Their main influences can be found on bands like Rolling Stones, Allman Brothers and even Bob Dylan or Johnny Cash. The Jetsurfers have received countless excellent reviews from specialized Scandinavian media for the good quality they have always shown along these seven years of musical career and gigs. After two more records, “Jetlagged in Jetland” and “Wildcards”, which were widely broadcasted on north european radio stations and after replacing Carlsson by Audung Norgaard and Fredsvik by Laars Linkas, here come their two new cds “An Evening At Muddy Waters”, recorded live, and “Five Years Down The Road”. Both albums bring us a top form band with a powerful straight live performing and very clever ideas, where guitars perfectly combine with quite simple but, at the same time, solid musical patterns.
