Hege Rimestad & Geirr Lystrup: Fly som en stein
MIC’s Listen to Norway series continues with Hege Rimestad & Geirr Lystrup’s 'Fly som en stein'.
Stones and rocks are the governing theme for this lively release from two well-seasoned troubadours and songwriters that have been performing on the domestic stage for more than three decades. Originally conceived as a live performance concept staged at schools, ‘Fly som en stein’ (Fly like a rock) all about fascination for rocks, stones, pebbles and boulders – a firm medium that surrounds us at all times. With solid backing from a cast of highly accomplished musicians, Lystrup and Rimestad bring in a wide range of musical styles ranging from pop and rock to world music and children’s rhymes. Entertaining and interesting, ‘Fly som en stein’ is bound to spark interest in that gravel under your feet.
