I have recently become addicted to listening to two Norwegian musicians, Espen Lind and Kurt Nilsen. Their cover of "Stay On These Roads" gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. The original was done in the 80's by Norwegian pop band, Aha. I'm no fan of the original yet find it amazing how Espen and Kurt can turn this song into something so beautiful with just their voices and two guitars.

"Never Easy" features Kurt Nilsen and again, it's amazing what just two voices and two guitars can do.

Check out how Kurt plays his guitar. He's left handed and yet plays the guitar with the strings upside down!

Espen Lind recorded a catchy tune titled "Scared of Heights", featuring nothing more than his voice, a ukelale, bass drum and a tuba.

This is a really late response, but I really love Kurt Nilsen. You should listen to his song "I", "Rise to the Occasion", and when he sings hallelujah and with or without you with espen lind and other peoples.
