West Coast, pop, funk, and jazz rolled into one – Norwegian musician and songwriter Ole Børud perfectly embodies the modern-day renaissance of West Coast pop. Imagine a sophisticated blend of Steely Dan, Toto, Michael McDonald, and The Doobie Brothers. Renowned for his masterful guitar playing and distinctive voice, Ole crafts music that’s meticulously arranged, with remarkable precision, groove, and musical finesse. He is now back on tour to mark the release of his sixth studio album.

The roots of his artistry run deep. As a second-generation member of the Børud family – a musical institution in its own right – Ole has been performing for nearly his entire life. He turned professional at just sixteen and reached a wider audience when he made it to the finals of Stjernekamp in 2018. Since then, he has released five studio albums and toured extensively with his quintet, both in Norway and abroad.

Lyrically, Ole Børud has ventured ever deeper into the territory of the soul – offering personal reflections on life’s challenges, humanity’s relationship with power, and the moments of truth that define us. He stands as an apostle of love: an artist who reminds us that the world needs more of it – the deep, transformative kind that can change lives.

Ole Børud’s live band is a powerhouse, featuring some of the finest soul musicians Norway has ever produced.
