Programme: The jazz box // Saturday
Check out the program and visit the Jazzbox to see tomorrow's musicians!
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.
AYKO // 14:00
AYKO makes electronic, epic pop, inspired by artists such as Aurora, Bon Iver and Jack Garratt. Despite her sources of inspiration, she keeps moving awayfrom the traditional electropop music into a unique landscape filled with non-traditional instruments and new sounds.
TOUR // 15:30 p.m
In the past, TUUR has been a ukulele jazz band that covers well-known jazz and blues songs. Now the band also makes their own music. The music moves between jazz, pop, folk and wise. We have a fondness for small stringed instruments and use, among other things, ukulele, guitarlele, bass ukulele. TUUR is a group of friends who met as students in Volda and who have played together in several different settings.
As the name suggests, we are happy to go on tour and have played at several DNT cabins. In addition, we are "lucky" and will be allowed to play at the Kongsberg jazz festival again!
Ash Carol // 17:00 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.
ísa // 19:00
ísa is a young band that finds itself somewhere in the middle of the intersection between post-rock, jazz-rock, ambient and indie music. The lyrics revolve around existential experiences in growing up, and complicated lines of thought that you never get to the bottom of. The group works collectively and with great presence, to create something beautiful and unique, and to give something very special to the audience; with great freedom for each performer, in addition to large arrangements and distinctive songs.
Laura Perrudin // 21:30 p.m
With her custom-built chromatic electric harp, she sounds like a huge band. Alone on stage, she makes wonderful beats with her harp and a whole arsenal of laptops, sound effect pedals and multitrack loops!
French Laura Perrudin's music is a wonderful mix of jazz and electronica. A rather special expression of a singing harpist! Even if she performs solo, it sounds big. We discovered her at the Festival Jazz International Rotterdam and just had to present her in Norway! Jazz with a touch of Sundfør and Joni Mitchell.
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:
