Norwegian singer-songwriter Hanne Hukkelberg performs at 9pm every Tuesday in May at NuBlu in New York. Hanne Hukkelberg started singing and playing instruments as a child in her home town of Kongsberg, Norway at the age of 3 and later played in various jazz, pop and rock groups as well as a doom metal band.
A graduate of the Norwegian Academy of Music, she has gained a reputation as a powerful live performer.
Blood from a Stone is Hukkelberg’s third album. In part inspired by her past as a member of various rock and metal bands (especially their live incarnations) and in part by her 80 indie/rock albums, Hanne acknowledges that the likes of Sonic Youth, Cocteau Twins, Pixies, Einstüerzende Neubauten and P.J. Harvey have all exerted an influence over her new songs, while one can also detect traces of Siouxsie & The Banshees at their most oblique and many other new wave/post punk outfits.
Hanne will be playing guitar, bass, synthesizer and other electronics,
performing songs from my last album Blood From A Stone. Eivind opsvik, a norwegian bass player, is the artist in residence and
i'm opening his shows these tuedays.
