**Conducted Fjyra Bluesklubb at Sandane in Nordfjord on the 22nd edition of FjordBlues.
American Hannah Wicklund was the headliner of the year, and this was her very first
visit to Scandinavia. **

It is reported from Sandane that she impressed greatly at her three concerts during
the festival, especially at the acoustic intimate concert she held alone for about
80 people in the rooms at Gloppen Hotel (pictured).

Audience record for FjordBlues
 American Hannah Wicklund was the headliner of the
year.

The club in Northwest Norway has for many years been good at bringing in new exciting
and more unknown artists from home and abroad. This year’s festival also had a clear
female profile, as a majority of this year’s band had ladies as front figures or
singers. In addition to the Tronder band Tora, this was the case for all four regional
and local bands from the surrounding area. Also English Elles Bailey made his Norwegian
debut at Fjordblues with his mix of rock, blues, soul and americana.

“I’ve long wanted to perform at FjordBlues here at Sandane, and finally I’m here,”
said Knut Reiersrud, who for the occasion played with The Jelly Roll Men. This was
the first time he visited Fjyra Bluesklubb, and the audience at FjordBlues showed
that they greatly appreciated the visit.

New of the year was an outdoor concert in the square in front of the town hall on
Saturday during the day. With 3-400 people at this concert, there was a solid audience
record with a total of 2100 visitors for FjordBlues in 2019. Of this, the audience
at the three concerts for children and young people in the municipality’s cultural
hall accounts for almost half. All three and more of the daytime concerts in the
city center were free to the public, so even with a record-breaking audience, it
is uncertain whether this year’s festival will turn a profit.

in a couple of weeks when we have an overview of all the expenses, festival director
Hans Andenæs tells Bluesnews.
