Artist
Lars Haavard Haugen plays guitar and sings backing vocals in the Norwegian Grammy Award winning bands Hellbillies and The Respatexans. He is also an accomplished session guitarist and record producer outside of these two bands. Haugen has been developing and writing instrumental material for years. "Core instrumental music and themes have always fascinated and influenced his traditional song writing, particularly lead by bands such as The Dixie Dregs and The Hellecasters. Apart from great song writing, their songs were – more importantly - purely instrumentally and virtuously arranged. The new instrumental album, "Six Strings And The Truth" contains 9 songs all written by Haugen. It’s not about showcasing a selection of pure and extended guitar solos, but rather bringing new elements into the instrumental music, with singing guitars replacing the traditional vocal recording. Musical collaborators include Kyrre Sætran (bass) and Trond Augland (drums). The first single “Landscapes” is out now, on iTunes and all digital stores. The album ”Six Strings And The Truth” is available from January 31st 2011. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
