Markus Lirhus – Acoustic Landscapes from Voss to Nashville

Description

This summer, the audience at Herr Nilsen gets to experience one of the most exciting young guitarists on the Norwegian acoustic music scene. Markus Lirhus from Voss comes to Oslo with his fresh debut album in his luggage and invites you to an atmospheric evening filled with beautiful melodies, virtuoso guitar playing and genuine musical storytelling. After a semester of music studies in Nashville – the heart of American country and roots music – Markus returns home to Norway to set out on his first album tour. At Herr Nilsen he presents a personal and intimate concert format where the acoustic guitar is at the center. His music moves seamlessly between his own compositions and carefully selected cover songs, with inspiration drawn from folk music, the fingerstyle tradition, country, bluegrass and the rich heritage of acoustic guitarists on both sides of the Atlantic. The result is a warm and vibrant concert experience that both impresses and touches. For audiences who appreciate artists like Tommy Emmanuel, Chet Atkins, Tony Rice and modern acoustic guitar storytellers, this is an evening not to be missed. Welcome to an intimate summer evening with beautiful tones, musical presence and a young artist on the rise.
