Adam Douglas with Hanne Boel
An evening filled with soul, blues and jazz. Hanne Boel hosts Adam Douglas at Gamle Norge during this year's festival.
Adam Douglas is the "unknown" winner of Stjernekamp. But far from unknown among those interested in blues and soul. It is said that he has gambled at every brownie in the land. He himself says that he has played "endel". He's understating. He says he is "quite into guitar", while those who have heard him play will claim he is among the best in the country. In many ways, we can define Adam as an un-American Norwegian.
It is difficult to place Adam in a specific genre, since he draws inspiration from pop, soul, blues and country, interspersed with lots of vocals, guitar, choir and preferably with his own brass band.
It was not until autumn 2017 that Adam Douglas was to take the step out of the underground and into the thousands of homes. Every Saturday he solved new musical challenges in Stjernekamp, and ended up winning the entire competition.
Now Norway is waiting for Adam and he couldn't be more ready. We are very much looking forward to seeing him during this year's festival in Kongsberg.
Hanne Boel has a long career behind him with several popular record releases. Boel broke through as a vocalist in the late 1980s and has since found himself at the top of the Danish soul/pop scene with several notices and around 20 releases. Her musical universe spans a wide range and is inspired by elements from both pop, jazz, gospel and rock.
In the last year, there have only been sold-out concerts in her home country, and she is now ready to do the same in Norway and with us at Kongsberg Jazz 2019.
