The debut album from Trudy & Dave.
The past few years has been a new golden period for Americana in Norway - a genre that over here was established by high-profiled musicians such as Claudia Scott, Hellbillies, and Jonas Fjeld. Among them are also Johanna Demker and Alf Bretteville-Jensen, who through thriving cooperation are back with their passion project as Trudy & Dave. The singles "Force of Nature" , "1000 Guns" and "Call Home" are just three out of ten glorious tracks that are featured on their debut album Out of Our Minds.
Out of Minds contains both individual compositions and co-written material, and is presented in a band format with colleagues picked from the top shelf; Thomas Pettersen (drums), Magnus Berg (gitar), Bjrn Berge (slide), Olav Torgeir Kopsland (div. strings), Bo Dundic Berg (bass) and Eivind Klverd (percussion). This results in a record that should please every throbbing Americana heart out there. Alf and Johanna both have several releases in their respective catalogues, and many will recognize them for their songwriting on hitreleases in both Europe and South America. With songwriting as the core of their musicianship, they've both been central in the songwriting project RAUS, together with Amund Maarud, Jace Everett, Jeff Wasserman, and more. In November they performed in the honorable Royal Albert Hall in London under the Norwegian Blues Adventure.
