Sergeant Petter

about

He might be a new aquaintance, he may be your dearest friend, either way he´s back: Sergeant Petter, the nice Norwegian guy with his checkered shirts and sensational songs. The rock kid with a country voice and heart made of pop songs – or was it the other way round? Anyway, three and a half years have passed since Sergeant Petter first broke through in his home country. Several dashing radio hits paved the way for his debut album, ”It´s A Record” – a treasure trove of energy, invention and charm. A record that provided Petter with devoted fans at home and abroad, important festival gigs at Roskilde (Denmark) and Quart (Norway), a nomination for the Alarm award (Norways alternative music award) and an invitation to let the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra be his backing band. The album also impressed Excelsior Recordings in The Netherlands som much they signed Petter, which has led to several successful forays on the Continent. In november 2003 Sergeant Petter followed up with the ”Let´s Go Wrestling EP”, showing further nuances in his playful musicality. His second album, ”Monkey Tonk Matters”, appeared at the start of 2006, with radio hit ”Honky Tonk Rose” and a new selection of catchy choruses and cheeky ideas. The album confirmed Petter´s position as one of Norway´s most original artists and was nominated for the Spelleman Award (Norway´s main music award) in the category for Best country record of the year. By then Petter was already working on new, exciting material. This
