Listen Later

Sigmund Groven joins me on episode 127. 
Sigmund is a chromatic player who is a household name in his native Norway. 
He was inspired to take up the harmonica after hearing Tommy Reilly on the radio. After taking  some lessons with Tommy they formed a lifelong friendship, with Sigmund even becoming his manager.
Sigmund has released over thirty albums in his own name through his illustrious career and has played in venues and orchestras around the world, including Carnegie Hall, throughout Europe and in Asia, where he enjoyed chart success in South Korea. He plays classical, pop, contemporary, light music and Norwegian Folk and still enjoys recording and performing regularly.
