Inger Marie Gundersen

Inger Marie´s band is:

Oscar Jansen
piano
Oscar is a superb musician with a great and special touch. It is no coincidence that we have played together for ten years now! Oscar brings the right spirit to my songs, and he is still my favorite piano player. Oscar has worked as a producer and has played on several CD releases. He anchored Stavanger Gospelchoir in 1988 and was the arranger and musician on their first album, recorded in 1994. He has performed together with SGC both in Norway and abroad. Oscar is also an accomplished painter and illustrator.

Tom Rudi Torjussen
drums/percussion
Tom is consummate professional, who has played on almost forty CD releases. He is full of positive energy, and he pushes us all into a new dimension. Besides playing with Inger Marie, he also plays with Jim Stärk, Claudia Scott and Niko Valkepää. I am very happy to work closely with him. (IM)

Ole "Kelly" Kvamme
bass
Ole Kristian Kvamme plays an important role in the growing music scene down in Arendal. He has a reputation for being a nice guy, and his reputation is fully-earned...just ask any of his friends. Ole Kelly also spends a lot of time in the studio, he is a bass teacher at the university, and has played on numerous CDs. He has recorded and/or played live with artists like Kirsten Bråten Berg, Sondre Bratland, Ulf Wakenius, Egil Kapstad, Mocci Ryen, Ola Kvernberg, Hilde Louise Asbjørnsen among many others. I love the way he plays the bass.

He has received the Estonian Grammy for the album Going North, and Norwegian Grammy together with Niko Valkeapää (2004), Geri Lystrup, Hege Rimestad (2004) and Lars Bremnes ( 2007). Per Willy is a brilliant trumpet player who creates magical moments with his instrument. And I`m very happy he joined me and my band.
