<p>Konkuransen stod mellom 19 band fra like mange europeiske land. 9 artister spilte på fredag og de 10 siste spilte på lørdag kveld fra scenen på Berlin&#8217;s Kulturbrauerei i sentrum av den tyske hovedstaden.</p>
<p>Rita takket for seieren og leverte en fantastisk mini-konsert på sparket til ellevill jubel fra et dedikert og lydhørt publikum. Allerede før vinneren var offentliggjort var de første bookingforespørslene begynt og tikke inn.  En rekke magasiner og radiostasjoner hadde også satt seg på listen for interjuver.</p>
<p>Dette er bare fantastisk, -tusen takk alle sammen, nå er jeg stolt og veldig, veldig glad, uttrykte Rita etter tildelingen. Bluestown Records er ikke mindre stolte og kaster seg selvsagt med i hyllesten.</p>
<p>Dette vil bety mye for Rita&#8217;s videre internasjonale karriere og både plateselskap, Norsk bluesunion, og hele det norske folk kan være stolte på Rita og Backbones vegne i dag!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Bandet består av:</p>
<p>Rita Engerdalen, Morten Omlid, Jens Haugen og Eskil Aasland.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With a strong brutality and a fireworks display of a stage show, the Norwegian artist Peer Gynt with The Peer Gynt Band, enchanted the audience and the press in many parts of the world with his stage charm and its sparkling guitar playing. With a unique blend of hard hitting blues rock and a portion of Norwegian folklore, Peer Gynt placed the Norwegian music map in an international position.</p>
<p>2012 is a busy year for Peer Gynt. Release No. 8 in his career, is expected in late April, followed by the tournament at home / abroad as well as two new video releases.</p>
<p>Peer Gynt is highly topical again with a new CD, two (2) new videos and new shows. &#8220;Witchcraft&#8221; is the title of the album, and it is said to be the best album from Peer Gynt so far. The CD is produced by Peer Gynt &amp; Hallgeir Rustan. Recorded in Studio A, and mixed in Stargate Studios in Norway.</p>
<p>The new album &#8220;Witchcraft&#8221; will be released at Blue Town Records April 27, 2012</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/M8Kll_M5Hfg" frameborder="0" width="560" height="315"></iframe></p>
<p>Norwegian Text:</p>
<p>Bukkerittet er i gang&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Med en fandenivolsk råskap og et fyrverkeri av et sceneshow, har den norske artisten Peer Gynt sammen med The Peer Gynt Band, trollbundet publikum og presse i store deler av verden med sin scenesjarm og sitt gnistrende gitarspill. Med en unik blanding av hardtslående bluesrock og en porsjon norske folketoner, har Peer Gynt plassert det Norske musikk-kartet i en internasjonal posisjon.<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>2012 blir et hektisk år for Peer Gynt. Plate nr. 8 i karrieren ventes i slutten av April, etterfulgt av turnering i inn/utland samt 2 nye videolanseringer.</strong></p>
<p>Peer Gynt er igjen høyaktuell med ny CD, to (2) nye videoer og nytt show. ”Witchcraft” er tittelen på det nye albumet, og det sies å bli det beste albumet fra Peer Gynt så langt. CD´n er produsert av Peer Gynt &amp; Hallgeir Rustan. Innspilt i Studio-A, og mikset i StarGate Studios i Norge.</p>
<p>Den nye plata &#8220;Witchcraft&#8221; slippes på Bluestown Records den 27 april 2012</p>

<div>Bluestown Records artist Lazy Lester is nominated in 3 categories for Blues Music Awards in the United States. Our album You Better Listen with blues legend Lazy Lester is nominated for Blues Music Awards as the year&#8217;s best traditional blues album. The album was recorded in Juke Joint Studio Notodden. The band on the disc is the Norwegian band Spoonful Of Blues and producer Morten Omlid. &#8211; This is just fantastic. The hair on my arms stood straight up last night when I got the message from the United States. For a Norwegian record company to be nominated in the category &#8220;Traditional Blues Album Of The Year&#8221; in the homeland of blues with an album produced in Norway and with Norwegian musicians is almost an impossibility to expect. And now we&#8217;ve done it a fourth time! We must be doing something very right here in Notodden. There is also a big feather in our cap to Morten Omlid which has been producing at the plate, says CEO of Bluestown Records Jostein Forsberg. Other musicians from Notodden on the disc include Ytterbø Trond Espen Fjelle, Knut Slettemo and Runar Boyesen.Lazy Lester is 78 years old now and was about to be forgotten. Morten Omlid and Jostein Forsberg felt it was time to lift him up into the light again. Lazy Lester is behind blues classics such as Sugar Coated Love, I Hear You Knocking and I&#8217;m A Lover Not A Fighter. You Bettermann list includes both new recordings of some classics and new original songs. &#8211; I am very proud of this album and the Norwegian band &#8220;Spoonful Of Blues&#8221; played completely style the correct Louisiana Blues. I am glad that the world can again be aware of who the Lazy Lester is, says the man himself on the phone from the U.S. last night. Lazy Lester is also nominated in the categories &#8220;Traditional Blues Artist Of The Year&#8221; and &#8220;Harmonica Player Of The Year&#8221;. The last in the competition with strong names such as Charlie Musselwhite and Kim Wilson</div>
<div></div>
<div>It is the fourth time an album from Blue Town Records is nominated for Blues Music Awards. They won the class &#8220;Traditional Blues Album Of The Year&#8221; in 2010 with the album Chikadelic with Mississippi artist James &#8220;Super Chikan&#8221; Johnson. Also at that time was the Spoonful of Blues that was backing band on the disc, and then, with Jostein Forsberg as a producer. The Louisiana Red and Fleetwood Mac legend Jeremy Spencer has received nominations for Blues Music Awards with the album they recorded in Juke Joint Studio of Blue Town Records.Blues Music Awards ceremony will arrange for 33 time 10 May 2012 in Memphis, Tennessee..</div>

<p>Bluestown Records-artist Lazy Lester er nominert i 3 kategorier til Blues Music Awards i USA. Vårt album You Better Listen med blueslegenden Lazy Lester er nominert til Blues Music Awards som beste årets beste tradisjonelle bluesalbum. Albumet er spilt inn i Juke Joint Studio på Notodden. Bandet på platen er det norske bandet Spoonful Of Blues og produsent er Morten Omlid.  – Dette er bare helt fantastisk. Håret på armene mine stod rett opp i går kveld da jeg fikk beskjeden fra USA. For et norsk plateselskap å bli nominert i klassen ”Traditional Blues Album Of The Year” i bluesens hjemland med et album produsert i Norge og med norske musikere er jo nesten for en umulighet å regne. Og nå har vi klart det for tredje gang! Vi må gjøre noe veldig riktig her på Notodden. Det er også en stor fjær i hatten til Morten Omlid som har vært produsent på platen, sier daglig leder i Bluestown Records Jostein Forsberg. Andre musikere fra Notodden på platen inkluderer Trond Ytterbø, Espen Fjelle, Knut Slettemo og Runar Boyesen.</p>
<p>Lazy Lester er 78 år gammel nå og var i ferd med å bli glemt. Morten Omlid og Jostein Forsberg syntes det var på tide å løfte han fram i lyset igjen. Lazy Lester står bak bluesklassikere som Sugar Coated Love, I Hear You Knocking og I’m A Lover Not A Fighter. You Better Listen inneholder både nyinnspillinger av noen klassikere og nye originallåter. – Jeg er veldig stolt av dette albumet og det norske bandet Spoonful Of Blues spilte helt stilriktig Louisiana Blues. Jeg er glad for at verden igjen kan få øynene opp for hvem Lazy Lester er, sier mannen selv på telefon fra USA i natt. Lazy Lester er også nominert i kategoriene ”Traditional Blues Artist Of The Year” og ”Harmonica Player Of The Year”. Det siste i konkurranse med sterke navn som bl.a. Charlie Musselwhite og Kim Wilson.</p>

<p><strong>UK/USA:</strong> Women in Blues &#8211; Rita Engedalen and Margit Bakken is now working on the project&#8217;s first record release. It is fair to call this a project, because these ladies are the core of the &#8220;Women in Blues&#8221;, but often with friends from home and abroad. So also on this recording that started in the Juke Joint Studio this weekend.</p>
<p>The ladies choose Bluestown as their record label, we are both proud and pleased.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll be back with more information time by time from the recording sessions.</p>
<p>Release: March 8th 2012</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>N:</strong> Damer i Blues &#8211; Rita Engedalen og Margit Bakken er nå i gang med prosjektets første utgivelse. Det er riktig å kalle dette et prosjekt, for disse damene er kjernen av &#8220;Damer i Blues&#8221;, men de har ofte med venner fra inn og utland. Så også på denne innspillingen som startet i Juke Joint Studio denne helgen.</p>
<p>At damene velger Bluestown som sitt plateselskap er vi både stolt og glade for.</p>
<p>Vi kommer tilbake med mer informasjon og litt nye bilder etterhvert.</p>
<p>Release: 8. Mars 2012</p>
