In Case of Fire - CD

Just like the off-piste skier, who seeks out the untouched snow of the cross country trails, Offpiste Gurus criss-cross through a variety of musical landscapes along roads less travelled as well as down well lit pistes.

In Offpiste Gurus’ music the singer-songwriters predilection for personal storytelling meets the unique blue toned cool which Scandinavian Jazz is so famous for. The songs are set in tight, delicate arrangements, that cut to the core of each song. Ultimately this is grooving, hand played and primarily acoustic music, played by an unorthodox line-up of voice, saxophone, bass, drums, mens choir and banjo with glimpses of brass, vibraphone og piano. It is sophisticated, it’s rough, it’s full of contrasts, and above all a perfect offset for Værings beautifully unvarnished voice which generously shares stories and observations from the adult life arena. Offpiste Gurus are: Trinelise Væring - Vocal and banjo / Fredrik Lundin - Saxophones, flutes and backing vocals / Thomas Vang - Bass / Jeppe Gram - drums, percussion and backing vocals.
