One of Norway’s most talented and popular singer songwriters, Thomas Dybdahl, will this autumn tour the UK with his new self-titled album.
Dybdahl’s new album, a collation of his previous 4 albums, was released September 14th in the UK. Dybdahl released his first solo album ‘That Great October Sound’ in 2002. The album received considerable air-time on Norwegian radio and was also praised by critics, resulting in Dybdahl landing a Norwegian Grammy Award for best pop solo act. Norway’s leading newspapers described his debut album as ‘astoundingly powerful’ and ‘a timeless modern classic’.
The following years proved to be very productive for Dybdahl and also cemented his position as one of Norway’s premier singer/songwriters. He released his second solo album, ‘Stray Dogs’, in 2003, quickly followed by ’One Day You'll Dance For Me, New York City’, which came out the following year. 2006 turned out to be a successful year for Dybdahl, seeing him release his fourth album and pick up his second Norwegian Grammy Award, this time being recognised as the best male artist.
His live performances are always soulful and the Norwegian press has lauded his concerts on numerous occasions. Thomas Dybdahl is currently recording his fifth studio album due for release in 2010.
