Welcome to Overall

Overall is a band based in Oslo, - Norway. The band attempts, in inspiration from the seventies, to combine Blues with the grooves of Funk, the technicalities of Fusion, and the soul of man. The repertoire is inspired by musicians like; Albert King, Otis Rush, Billy Cobham and Freddie King, among others. The band is regularly seen on Oslo's main blues club; Muddy Waters, but has also performed in Brønnøysund, Drøbak, Nesodden, Notodden, etc.

The band incorporates different musical styles into a blues foundation, in order to create a signature style and to communicate the musical passions of the band members. The band was founded in 1998, and their creative and joyful playing, combined with a unique and tight rhythm section, has earned them status as one of the most attractive live-acts in Oslo.

The band members are:
Anders Strand; lead vocals and guitars
Njål Ra; bass
Sturla Nøstvik; drums
Trygve Beddari; keyboards and background vocals
