BUSK, ERIKSEN & SEA STREAM
Get ready for a terrific evening in the city's finest backyard restaurant
From New Orleans, across Mississippi, and to Memphris - Vidar Busk, Daniel Eriksen and Stig Sjøstrøm have almost been welcomed as heroes, both by the public and local musicians. The trio's music is reflected in the band's country road - together they have served music with a deep anchoring in the southern blues traditions, interspersed with Memphis rock'n roll and New Orleans R&B.
