About Steinar
Since the turn of the millenium Norwegian Lapsteel guitarist, Steinar Gregertsen, has been writing music for a wide variety of clients. Highlights include being included with two tracks on the live “Various Artists” rhythm and blues CD “I Daumanns Fotspor” with the band “Same Ol’ Blues”.
In 2001 he wrote, performed and later recorded “Canal Street Suite” for the opening of the Canal Street Jazz And Blues festival in Arendal, where he had the pleasure of collaborating with one of Norway’s finest interpretors of traditional folk music: Kirsten Bråten Berg.
In 2002 he wrote all music for the ballet “Olav Liljekrans”, again collaborating with Kirsten Bråten Berg.
Later that year he wrote and recorded all the music for a multimedia show, designed for the closing arrangement of the “Sørlandet i 100” jubilee. It was performed live in an outdoors setting on Dec. 21, in a freezing minus 10C....
He participated as a composer and guitarist on the CD “spor.sørland” which was well received by the press (a ‘5’ on the dice in “Dagbladet”).
He produced music for commercials and jingles, and finished writing and producing music for a six-episode TV documentary, “Kripos”, which aired on Norwegian national TV (NRK1) in 2004.
In 2006 he released his first solo CD, called "Southern Moon Northern Lights" - an album of mostly instrumental music that shows his inspirations from the Mississippi river to the Norwegian fjords and mountains.
