Active since the 1970s, singer/songwriter Bjørn Eidsvåg has been a beloved and influential fixture in the Nordic visor scene for decades. Over a long career he's crafted a reliable blend of insightful acoustic ballads and folk-inflected rock, raising his tender, comforting voice in songs of faith and devotion over simple strummed guitar, austere piano and swelling strings. As an ordained Lutheran priest his poetic lyrics are admired for their open-minded and keenly observed spiritual content. His raft of releases—with over 25 albums to his name—are a testament to his artistry.
