Biography
Artists cannot retire, even when they pass 70. It's about continuing as long as there is breath in the lungs, as long as there are feelings to convey and as long as there is an audience out there who will listen. Jonas Fjeld is in the fortunate position that he has both the creative power intact, and the ability to continue! At the same time, he has a large and loyal audience that knows how to appreciate an artist who always delivers - and surprises!
Jonas Fjeld is an artist who, thanks to his long career, is more versatile than many others can dream of becoming. He started as a giggling rocker in the crazy band Jonas Fjeld Rock 'n' Rolf Band, continued with serious funk recorded in the USA, made a country album in Nashville, backed countless Norwegian artists on albums, made a comeback as a solo artist with country-inspired folk rock, played American folk music with Rick Danko from The Band and Eric Andersen, collaborated with the viceroy Ole Paus and the rock poet Henning Kvitnes, threw himself into bluegrass with Chatham County Line - and recently he went to the top with the legendary Judy Collins. He has also recently done reunion concerts with the Jonas Fjeld Band, which was a leader in Norwegian rock in the 80s, with two Spellemann awards.
All of this only emphasizes that this is an artist who is not afraid to look back before taking new steps forward!
