Ola Bremnes

Ola Bremnes is a Norwegian singer-songwriter and guitarist rooted in the coastal culture of Lofoten, where his music draws deeply from the landscapes and stories of Northern Norway. Born into a family of artists (he’s the brother of famed singer Kari Bremnes), Ola blends folk, rock, and poetic lyricism to craft songs that feel both personal and universally resonant. His work often celebrates local identity, with tracks like "Det e Svolvær" and "E du nord" serving as love letters to his hometown and region.

Active since the 1980s, Bremnes has maintained a loyal following for his warm, narrative-driven style and knack for blending traditional Norwegian folk influences with contemporary arrangements. Recent releases like "Stormtid" and "GLEMT" showcase his enduring creativity, while live recordings like "På nord (Live)" highlight his intimate, down-to-earth stage presence. Whether spinning tales of fishermen, seasons, or small-town life, Bremnes’ music feels like a cozy conversation with an old friend who knows every corner of the North.
