COUNTRYSINGER/SONGWRITER
Nils "nilsemann" Solli began his musical career in 1988 with a local duo "the Sunhill boys". Early musical influences were Elvis, traditional countrymusic and norvegian folkmusic.
Nils plays guitars, bass, mandolin, tinwhistles, keyboards, harmonica, and is also a skilled leadsinger, mastering most genres.
On stage music is performed with prerecorded backingtracks, where Nils has recorded each and every instrument himself, or simply accompanied by his acoustic guitar. Nils has always been writing his own songs, and even though
he plays a lot of coversongs, theres always a fair share of original material on his shows.
One of the "peaks" in his career was performing at the "Countryfestival in Skjåk" 2009, one of the bigger festivals within this genre in Norway.
Nils has several singles available on iTunes and similar sites, and has also recorded a 5 track EP, all available from the webshop.
IRISH FOLK SINGER
Nils "nilsemann" Solli's love for the traditional irish folksongs emerged when he was accidentally hired to perform at an irish pub in Fredrikstad "Paddys Corner"
He quickly discovered that the feeling, the drive, the immense power in these songs were his "cup of tea" so to speak. The irish lovesongs are amongs the most beautiful ones in the world, and Nils has a voice and a sound to honor them to the fullest.
Music is performed using prerecorded backingtracks, where Nils has made great effort to create an authentic sound using real instruments, or simply using the acoustic guitar
Nilsmanns music is currently being played at the Highlander radio in Boston MA, as well as the All irish radio in Dublin. There is also a single available on iTunes on similar sites.
