Biography
Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra started up after vocalist Rebekka Nilsson and Joakim Borgen had seen the movie "Broken Circle Breakdown" in 2013. They were so inspired by the music in the movie that they formed a fantastic octet of talented young musicians.
And what could be more natural than to meet in a living room in Oslo a few weeks later, record a version of "Wayfaring Stranger" and post it on YouTube, right? 15,000,000 streams and 50,000 subscribers later, you can only say it was a stroke of genius!
The band has released two albums, and both have resulted in nominations - both Spellemann in the Country category in 2021 and IBMA Momentum Awards as "Band of the Year" in 2022 and 2023. In 2022, Rebekka Nilsson was also nominated for the IBMA Momentum Awards - Vocalist of the Year, a nomination she also won.
Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra's albums have placed high on the Billboard Bluegrass Album Chartswhere Migrants reached number 4 and The Broken Circle Sessions reached number 9.
In other words, the band coming to Breim in 2024 is of high quality - and you'll even get to see them at the church concert in Breim Church.
