   About Vidar Vang
"Sleepless Songs", Vidar's brand new album is ready for release on Universal early 2010. The first single, "Love, love, love" - is a duet with the Grammy nominated, american artist Tift Merritt. "Sleepless Songs" is produced by Frode Jacobsen (Madrugada) and Alexander Kloster-Jensen (Ricochets, My Midnight Creeps). More to come soon... History: Vidar Vang (33) was born and raised in Bjerkvik, a small town above the Arctic Circle in the north of Norway. He started to write songs at the age of 17. In 1998 he released a self-financed album, ”Blue”, recorded in his hometown. It was sold at numerous acoustic shows throughout the north of Norway. Vidar then moved to Oslo, and after great performances at festivals like Quart, Øya, Norwegian Wood and by:LARM, he got his record deal. Vidar released his official debut album, ”Rodeo” in September 2002. The album was produced by Seasick Steve and Cato Salsa, and was critically acclaimed as one of the year’s best rock albums. It also received a Norwegian Grammy nomination. In October 2004, Vidar’s second album, ”Stand Up Straight” came out. The album was produced by Yngve Sætre. ”Here It Is”, the single off the album became a huge hit on major radio stations in Norway. In May and June 2005 Vidar toured Europe for the first time, as support to his friends in Madrugada. "Vidar Vang", Vidar’s third album, was released early 2006. This time he pulled out his acoustic guitar and made a quieter, but powerful album, believed to be his strongest so far. The album was recorded live in 4 days at Supermono Studio in Oslo, and was produced by Kjetil Draugedalen, Gaute Fredriksen and Vidar Vang. PRESS QUOTES ”RODEO ”: Bergens Tidene (6/6) ”Super-debut! Sensational”. VG (5/6) ”…sensational. Vidar Vang has put together an album of strong melodies that sticks with you. Spirit (5/6) ”Vidar Vang is a literary man. A big plus for the opening line on the album: “I won’t be lied to”, one of the greatest since Steve Earle’s “Guitar Town”, if not Patti Smith’s “Horses”. PRESS QUOTES ”STAND UP STRAIGHT”: Bergens Tidene (5/6) ”An album packed with great songs, an album with soul and nerve, an album up there with the best in Americana, no depression and American folk-related music”. Fædrelandsvennen (5/6) ”A delicacy…”. Drammens Tidene (5/6) ”A revelation! It deserves a big audience outside of Norway” PRESS QUOTES “VIDAR VANG”: Dagbladet (5/6) “Vidar Vang has found himself. This record you just want to listen to over and over again” Hamar Arbeiderblad (6/6): “There it is, Vidar!” Panorama (6/6): This record puts Vidar Vang where he belongs; at the top!” Nordlys (5/6): “A future classic”

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 

Where traditions are not so rare; 
    Sea, country and works scent the air; 
A multitude of monuments, 
    Planted tubs and patterned pavements. 

The longish pedestrian malls; 
    The remnants of defensive walls; 
Historic buildings are a gauge 
    Of the respect for heritage. 

Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; 
    Estuaries guarded by shields; 
Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; 
    Romantic-ruin go-betweens. 

Rivers in parts licked by trees, 
    Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, 
And crossed by practical delights - 
    Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. 

Fine churches headed at Durham; 
    Football kits ad infinitum; 
Kept castles - one for study; 
    Masonry behind masonry. 

And, with moulding-works out that way, 
It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN 

Once drove an old sedan, up north, 
From a place in Sydney to Cairns; 
Then to Kuranda I went forth, 
By train, to look without set plans.

I browsed through the trendy market, 
With fresh fruits of tropical kind; 
Walked to the creek through lush thicket - 
Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.

I dined in a scenic cafe; 
Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, 
Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, 
You go walkabout with your pen.” 

Request or question, I don’t know -
Assured voices, elderly men.
That’s now several years ago, 
And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
