Kari Bremnes
North facing, European, open, personal and melancholic - are words that can be linked with Kari's music. From the lightest to the very dark and raw. And all the time with a closeness to people and their destinies. Kari has written songs for 40 years and released 19 solo albums. At present she has a wider audience than ever, in her own country and abroad.

Bertine Zetlitz
Scandinavian pop singer Bertine Zetlitz is a well-known artist in Europe who makes catchy disco-influenced dance-pop with a slightly dark, ironic edge. Involved in music from a young age, Zetlitz began writing music just prior to her teens and ultimately studied classical music at college. After graduating, she began pursuing a career in pop music and eventually released her debut album, Morbid Late Night Show, in 1998. Beautiful So Far followed in 2000, featuring production by famed Cardigans producer Tore Johansson. Since that time Zetlitz has released a handful of albums, including Rollerskating in 2004, My Italian Greyhound in 2006, and Electric Feet in 2012. In 2015, Zetlitz released her seventh, studio album, Tikamp, which balanced her love of both electro and acoustic pop. Included on the album was the single "Sett At Vi Sier Det Sånn," which featured the Dum Dum Boys' Prepple Houmb. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi

CC CowboysCC Cowboys are a Norwegian rock band that peaked in popularity during the early to mid-'90s before dissolving later in the decade. In 2003 the band mounted a successful comeback that returned it to the upper reaches of the Norwegian charts. Formed in 1989 in Fredrikstad, Norway, the band is comprised of Magnus Grønneberg (vocals, guitar), Jørn Christensen (guitar), Per Vestaby (bass), and Agne Saether (drums). Former members include Anders Grønneberg (bass), Trond Berg (guitar), and Jon Terje Rovedal (accordion), who were active during the 1990s. CC Cowboys made their debut in 1990 with the single "Harry" and the album Blodsbrødre, both of which were Top Five hits on the Norwegian charts. The follow-up album, Rock'n Roll Ryttere, and its lead single, "Barnehjemmet Johnny Johnny," were similarly popular, both also reaching the Top Five. While subsequent albums Tigergutt (1992) and Persille & Panser (1994) and their respective singles, "People in Motion" and "Når Du Sover," were only slightly less successful, reaching the Top Ten rather than the Top Five, the band's next album, Himmeltitter (1996), was a relative disappointment, barely making the Top 20. CC Cowboys dissolved shortly thereafter, releasing the chart-topping best-of compilation Ekko: CC Cowboys' Beste (1998) and retreating from the album marketplace for several years afterward. With a reconfigured bandmember lineup (i.e., the addition of Christensen and Vestaby on guitar and bass, respectively), CC Cowboys returned in 2003 with the comeback album Lyst, a well-received effort that returned the band to the Top Ten. Subsequent full-length efforts Evig Liv (2006), På Svalbard Uten Strøm (2007), and Morgen & Kveld (2009) were similarly successful, reaching the Top Ten, if not the Top Five, of the albums chart. The band also released latter-day hit singles including "Kom Igen" and "Kanskje Du Behøver Noen." ~ Jason Birchmeier
