In his home country of Norway, blues pianist, vocalist and songwriter Reidar Larsen, with a musical career going back to the mid 1970s, has long been known as 'Mr Blues'. With a voice and style that defy his Nordic roots - more New Orleans than Norway - Reidar has recorded 12 albums. Born in Oslo in 1955, the son of a piano builder/tuner, it was fairly natural that Reidar's fascination with the instrument began at an early age with lessons from age 7, and an early diet of albums by the British blues exponents of the 1960s, The Animals, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Fleetwood Mac and Stan Webb's Chicken Shack. Many of these albums were supervised by legendary UK blues producer Mike Vernon who also produced Reidar's 2nd album 'Red, White & Blues'. Long recognized as one of the finest Blues acts in Scandinavia, Reidar & The Storytellers, his regular band since 1997, are in big demand and play over 100 gigs a year.
