BOL&SNAH&FAMILY

This band is the old band BOL (Tone Åse, Ståle Storløkken and Tor Haugerud) extended with “Snah”, Hans Magnus Ryan, who is the guitar player known from the epic rock band Motorpsycho, and Family, who are the two sons of Tone and Ståle, Emil (guitar), Amund (vibraphone and melotron), and Amund’s wife, Jenny Frøysa, on baritone-saxophone. The music in this project is composed by Tone, and the new addition to the band, the youngsters, have made some beautiful new arrangements on some of the tunes on the repertoire. The 7 piece band will, as a start, play two concerts in Norway, and then we will see what’ll happen. Watch out!
