MIKE BECK - Listening Concert

Oslo, Norway
5, C.J. Hambros plass, Tullin, Sentrum, Oslo, 0164, Norway

The Brief

Mike Beck grew up in Monterey and witnessed Hendrix burn his Stratocaster at the first major rock festival (Monterey Pop) as a 13-year-old. He also experienced Janis Joplin and The Who at the same festival. This left deep musical impressions on a young boy. He also grew up in the neighborhood of the legendary Dorrance brothers, who revolutionized the way horses are treated. Both music and horses have left their mark on his entire career, and today he appears as a genuine "working" cowboy and a storyteller of the highest class. In the last seven years, Mike Beck has worked with Herb Pedersen, one of America's most used session musicians (Tom Petty, Linda Ronstadt, John Fogerty, Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson, among others), and he toured in 2022 with his good friend, folk legend Rambling Jack Elliott. Together they participated in several major memorial concerts for John Prine (RIP), alongside stars such as Emmylou Harris, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Bonnie Raitt, Chris Isaak, Steve Earle, Gillian Welch and Lyle Lovett - to name a few... In January 2024, he was also on the bill for a major tribute concert for Rambling Jack (now 92 years old) with legendary artists such as Jackson Browne, Nathaniel Rateliff, Steve Earle, Joan Baez and Rodney Crowell - among others. At the same time, a new, unique documentary about Mike Beck premiered at The National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Nevada. In other words, a legendary guitarist and world-class storyteller is visiting Norway again, and we promise fascinating and entertaining stories from his rich life between catchy songs and guitar playing.
