BERNHOFT & THE FASHION BRUISES
The phenomenon Jarle Bernhoft is back with a new album and with his regular band, The Fashion Bruises
Bernhoft undoubtedly has the ability to excite the public, which we experienced most recently in 2014 when he last visited the Kongsberg Jazz Festival in front of a packed audience at Kirketorget. If Bernhoft has a program statement, it is that he wants to make people dance and think at the same time. This also applies to the highest extent to the album "Humanoid", which was released in August 2018 together with his permanent band.

HELL BILLY'S
Hellbilli's year 2019 is thus better than ever
Hellbillies - one of Norway's most successful bands - embark on a new tour. Or is that what they actually do? With more than 1700 concerts during their currently 28-year existence, the band has driven up and down through "a slightly too long country" more and further than most. They have practically never stopped. With this, we can agree that Hellbillies have earned a well-deserved status as one of the country's very best live bands.

ISAAC
You can expect Sami electropop with great international potential when all of Norway's Ella Marie and ISÁK band are guests Gamle Norge
ISÁK has been the talk of the Sami music world since his debut in 2017 - recognized for his energetic live performances and huge presence. Since their debut, the trio has experienced an overwhelming demand, and now the sensation from Sápmi is finally ready to show off to the rest of the world!

OLE BØRUD
No one who has followed "Stjernekamp" this autumn can have avoided noticing the far from silent crowd of supporters in the hall when Ole Børud enters the stage
Børud was last seen through his participation in NRK's popular television programme, Stjernekamp. In his musical background, Børud has touched a large audience in several genres, which he proved greatly during his participation in Stjernekamp. Vise, blues, EDM and opera are some of the genres that brought Børud to a solid third place and into several Norwegian homes.

ØYSTEIN SUNDE
Øystein Sunde with the "full package" for the Kongsberg Jazz Festival
Today, Sunde can look back on a 50-year history full of record releases, show successes, TV productions and collaborations with the best in Norwegian showbiz – Ingrid Bjørnov, Gitarkameratene, Halvdan Sivertsen, Finn Kalvik, Eldar Vågan, Dizzie Tunes & Grethe Kausland, Hege Schøyen and Vazelina Bilopphøggers - to name a few.
Sunde has of course his regular band, "Meget i Sløyd", but this time there will also be a "full package" with Staffan William-Olsson's jazz band "Sharp Nine", Reidar Larsen on piano and choir from "Erfarne Kvinnfolk".

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.
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 at Kongsberg together with one of Denmark's biggest stars, Hanne Boel.
