Strengeplukk (formerly Strengeplukk & Felegnukk) is a bluegrass band that was established in Stavanger in the fall of 2015. It all started when the three bluegrass-inquisitive fellows Jakob Folke Ossum (guitar), Nikolai Storevik (fiddle) and Andreas Barsnes Onarheim (mandolin) started playing together. A few months later, Thorbjørn Bilstad Olsen (banjo) and Lasse Gjestrud (bass) also joined the party. However, after a great six months with the band, Gjestrud moved to the capital and left the bass helm to current bassist Vidar Starheimsæter. The band plays self-written bluegrass with lyrics in dialect and also has a large repertoire of traditional American bluegrass.

Since the start in 2015, the band has been on several Norwegian tours. They released their first album "Fjellvegen" to rave reviews in the summer of 2018. The single "Spiker eller fjøl" was released in spring 2020 and was followed by 2 digital EP releases which were collected and released physically on the LP "Nyslåt Blågras" in November 2020 .

In the summer of 2021, after a year and a half with the pandemic, the band was finally back on a summer tour along the west coast. The following autumn they followed up by being the band for Judy Collins and Jonas Fjeld on their Norwegian tour with the album Winter Stories. A particularly successful tour where the group also appeared with their own number in the middle of the show.

In January 2022, the group returned to the studio and recorded the single "Du likar det", which was released in the spring of the same year, followed by a new tour. In the autumn of the same year, several singles were released before the group's album, "Nålauget" was released in March 2023. The album received good reviews both at home and abroad. American "Bluegrass Today" wrote, among other things, that "It's obvious that Strengepluk has a keen understanding of bluegrass music. By the same coin they're capable of crafting uniquely original material in that idiom”.

In autumn 2023, banjoist and co-founder of the band, Thorbjørn André Bilstad Olsen, announces his departure after 8 years on the road with Strengeplukk. He and the band parted as good friends and continued to jam and play together otherwise. In the same autumn, it was announced that Mikael Jonassen took over the helm as permanent banjoist in the band.
