About event:

AT THE END OF THE ROAD – TALKING BLUES OF THE HIGHEST BRAND Lars Saabye Christensen is back on stage with the Norwegian godfather of blues, Kåre Virud, and the band Norsk Utflukt. Norsk Utflukt is somewhere between laconic stand-up and poetic seriousness. The band serves talking blues of the highest brand. Here you are served lyrics that grab you by the scruff of the neck and hold you tight from the first word to the last, served on a suggestive comp so tough that it could easily stand alone. Together, Norsk Utflukt creates a universe that will excite and touch the audience in a way that is unique in the Norwegian context. The latest album "Arme råd" will be released in the fall of 2026. Lars Saabye Christensen and his literary track record are, as we all know, absolutely unique and place him among the greatest Norwegian authors of all time. But now he has taken a break from writing and will be on tour again with Norsk Utflukt. Norsk Utflukt is a surplus project that results in an enormous joy of playing, critically acclaimed albums and performances. To quote Saabye Christensen: "For me, Norsk Utflukt is extremely important and inspiring. I get new courage every time." In addition to Saabye Christensen and Kåre Virud, Norsk Utflukt consists of Espen Fjelle, Tore Wildhauer and Baard Slagsvold. This group's musical track record makes Norsk Utflukt nothing less than a supergroup.
