Country music has been close to Arnt Joar "Little Willie" Bråten's heart all his life, especially the artist Willie Nelson, who became a great source of inspiration for Arnt Joar. The similarities became so numerous that the young loon imitated Willie Nelson during the TV2 show "Stjerner i Sikte" in 1997. There he took second place with the song "Always On My Mind".

Arnt Joar "Little Willie" literally played and sang the hell out of most of his competitors, and with his second place he became nationally known as "Little Willie" . With a voice that is strikingly similar to Willie Nelson's, he has made a name for himself in recent years on both festival and club stages.

 "Little Willie" performs on Norwegian stages with his Outlaw Country or Willie Nelson tribute. He is accompanied by the band Ghostriders, which consists of experienced musicians with long experience in the industry. Little Willie & The Ghostriders get rave reviews wherever they go!
