These are the guys I play with in the different bands:
Knut Hem, Lars Håvard Haugen, Øystein Fosshagen, Håkon Askeland, Bjørn Holm, Finn Guttormsen, Øystein Sunde, Knerten Kamfjord, Eirin Kinn, Stein Bull Hansen, Jørun Bøgeberg, Stig Eilertsen and Per Amundsen, Kalle Aasland, Geir Emanuelsen and Bjørn Haglund.
Seems they all play guitar, dobro, mandolin, bass, fiddle or drums.... luckily I'm the only banjoplayer.
Influences
On the banjo I guess I've been influenced by Bela Fleck, Earle Scruggs, Tony Trischka, Carl Jackson and Ben Eldridge among others.
I think many great players have inspired me, Jerry Douglas on the dobro, David Grisman on the mandolin as well as Adam Steffey, Rob and Ronnie McCoury, Tony Rice, Bryan Sutton. The Beatles, Stevie Ray Vaughan and of course Jimi Hendrix.
I've also been influenced by all the great players I have played with over the years, such as Jørun Bøgeberg, Kalle Aasland, Jeff Wasserman, Warren Carlstrøm, Øystein Sunde, Knut Hem, Hans Graasvold, Lars Albrecht, Cindy Cashdollar, Lars Håvard Haugen, just to name a few...

I also play guitar, dobro and mandolin. I have been playing music since I was 15, I have been a studiomusician for years and have had the great pleasure of playing music with many of Norways best musicians, I'm forever greatful.
I play in a couple of different bands right now;
