Real Ones is an indie/folk-rock band hailing from Bergen, Norway, with a penchant for melodic richness and a folk-influenced sound that has evolved over the years. The band consists of a core group of classically trained musicians, including siblings David and Ivar Chelsom Vogt, along with childhood friends Jørgen Sandvik and Sigbjørn Apeland, who have been creating music together since the mid-1990s. Their instrumental setup often includes a mix of traditional strings, such as the violin and the viola, infused with guitars, mandolins, and more contemporary instruments, allowing for a unique, textured sound that is both innovative and grounded in folk traditions.
Real Ones have developed a reputation for their dynamic live performances, as evidenced by their series of releases titled 'LIVE A', 'LIVE B', 'LIVE C', and 'LIVE D', each capturing the raw energy and intimacy of their onstage presence. Aside from live albums, they have a commendable discography of original studio work. Among their most recent tracks, "Love Your Mother" and "Brother" stand out as reflective pieces that showcase the group's ability to address personal and universal themes with warmth and sincerity. "Breathe" and "Early Evening" further exemplify their skill in blending thoughtful lyrics with compelling melodies and intricate acoustic arrangements. Real Ones continue to engage their audience with music that is both emotionally resonant and musically rich, maintaining their status as beloved fixtures within the Scandinavian music scene and beyond.
