Free

Outside of our regular festival programme, we also have concerts The jazz box. Here we organize free concerts every day, all day - and give students, semi-professionals and amateurs the opportunity to play concerts for a wide audience.

Watch out, tomorrow's jazz stars can be found among this program. In the past, artists such as Fieh, Frøy, Bendik Baksaas and Hilde Marie Holsen have played on this stage.

 

August Kann & Aksel Undset // 13:45

They are two individual artists who have recently played concerts together, both on tour in the UK and in Norway. In addition to soul-shaking and soul-reassuring music, they promise tears and laughter, both from the audience and from the stage. August and Aksel have known each other since the 90s, when they were both born, and have been playing music together ever since. 

 

Gunnar Nilsen band // 15:30

This band presents music that Egil "Bop" Johansen did with his own orchestra, Jazz Incorporated. Johansen was already considered one of Norway's best drummers as a teenager and was a professional from the age of 16. He was nicknamed "Bop" because he was good at playing the music form bebop.

 

Silje Torsøe // 17:00

In the songs, Silje conveys stories about both close and intimate relationships, about life's ups and downs, about wonder, passion and vulnerability. These are aspects of life that most of us can recognize ourselves in. Soul, funk, wise, jazz, pop are some of the genres that are closest to Silje's heart. Artists such as Stevie Wonder, Lisa Nilsson, Eva Weel Skram, D ́Sound, Chaka Kahn and Beady Belle are great sources of inspiration.

 

Ash Carol // 18:30 p.m

Ask Carol plays a kind of grungy indie-pop-rock, and likes to mix genres. With two guitars, drums and fuzz-synth, they are a multitasking band that is not afraid to challenge musical boundaries. The music can make you think of bands like The Kills, Jack White or Blood Red Shoes, and even more pop artists like Twenty One Pilots, The XX and Lana Del Rey.

 

Apple snake // 20:00

Epleslang is a newly started quartet that plays improvised music with elements of noise and ambient, as well as some small compositions in between. The band has an exciting line-up with electric bassoon, vibraphone, double bass and drums.

Amalie Holt Kleive is a wise, pop artist who makes electronic danceable and moving music that is impossible not to like. She combines exciting vocal melodies with improvisation and harmonics from jazz, with beats from house and electronica, and is inspired by text from poems and ballads. Together, the expression becomes something completely unique and very beautiful.

 

Note that there is a free age limit in Festivalgata until 20:00 p.m.!

 

The jazz box is open every day during the festival, check out the rest of the programme:
