Knut Reiersrud solo
Get up close to the string master - solo concert in brand new venue
For more than four decades, Knut Reiersrud has played his guitars on countless stages and thrilled audiences - literally - around the world. His handling of stringed instruments - both musically and visually - can be a groundbreaking experience in a concert context.
After a Reiersrud concert in South Africa, King Harald said that he had never before seen a musician physically disappear into his instrument like Reiersrud. President Thabo Mbeki offered our guitarist a South African passport - for an encore - at the same concert....
Knut is one of Norway's great instrumentalists, a virtuoso on the guitar and a magician on stage. Three big claims, but all three are actually true. He has released a number of albums - both solo albums and albums with various constellations over the years, for three of which he has received the Spellemann Prize, in addition to other awards, he has also received a Danish Grammy Award.
Knut is the obvious choice when the very first concerts are held at Rondo, Tankens new restaurant. In the intimate and rustic venue, Kornstad's total musical presence comes across well. If you want to get close to a great performer who has played with legendary artists such as Dr John, Buddy Guy, Ricky Lee Jones and David Lindley, this is the perfect evening for you.
This evening you can experience Knut playing blues, folk, Indian or African music in addition to genre-free improvisation. With an arsenal of different guitars, his solo concerts take you on a journey through the geography of string music. With the blues as his backbone - after apprenticing in Chicago and New York with the likes of Dr John and Buddy Guy - Knut Reiersrud is always prepared to deliver the goods 110 per cent.
