About the musicians
For more than 25 years, Aasmund Nordstoga and Åsmund Reistad have played their music with a relaxed atmosphere, humour and joy! On stage, they are a unique duo. They perform different kinds of songs and folk music – beautiful, funny, quiet and energetic. Everywhere they go, they are remembered. They are a musical lucky charm.
They have now released the album “Tom Duley og andre viser” (“Tom Duley and other songs”), which is their first album together. It contains songs from the songbook with the same name, which Hartvig Kiran published in 1962. You will hear old North American songs in Kiran’s Norwegian translation, in Nordstoga and Reistad’s new versions. These are songs that were used in the 70’s by Norwegian singers like Lillebjørn Nilsen, Kari Svendsen, Jørn Simen Øverli, Ivar Medaas and Lars Klevstrand. Nordstoga and Reistad have been very successful with this album and their concerts.
