This is American singer-songwriter and folk-roots tradition of a standard which is rarely produced by artists with a Norwegian passport.

Blowin in the wind - Sound of Mu - Oslo - Norway

Millpond Moon - is the indie americana duo of Kjersti Misje and Rune Hauge from Norway.

Since appearing at the Glastonbury Festival in 2004, they've been touring extensively both in the UK and US. During this period they've created they're own sound and style, and a new album is finally on the way.

The music is recorded by Millpond Moon in their studio in Norway, and by Bill Wolf at Wolf Productions in Washington,VA. Mixed and mastered by Bill Wolf.

Musicians appearing on the album:

Rune Hauge: vocals, guitar and dobro

Kjersti Misje:vocals, guitar and piano

Rickie Simpkins: fiddle, viola and mandolin

Ronnie Simpkins: double-bass

Øystein Fosshagen: fiddle, mandolin and guitar

Ole Marius Sandberg: double-bass

Millpond Moon's upcoming album is to be released in 2012 and reflects the style the pair has cultivated on the road: old-time and Americana with heart-wrenching harmonies and old-time instrumentation.

The press writes:

"...Their vocal interplay and guitar playing was so effortless, classy and energetic that the posters' promise of "superb listening " was fulfilled many times over. However, the sparkle they brought to their jamming, and their ability to play off the cuff, bear witness of a standard which is far from ordinary fare in this country..." Johnny Andreassen - Drammens Tidende.

Kjersti Misje graduated from Faculty of fine Arts at Agder University College in 1996 where she studied rythmic music and jazz vocal training. She strums her guitar in subtle chords and various tunings, while blending jazzvocals with oldtime, country and bluegrass. She also proves to be an excellent folk singer with a fine, even voice with lots of warmth,

Rune Hauge is known to be one of Norway's leading roots artists, guitarists and singer/songwriters. He's appeared on numerous recordings on guitar, vocals and dobro with some of Noway's leading artists. In 1992/93 he was musical director and performer on two successfull NRK TV-series (Norway's leading TV network) called "Roots 92" and "Roots 93". Among the guests were Garth Hudson, Townes Van Zandt, Emmylou Harris, Rick Danko, Paul Brady, Richard Thompson, Tony Joe White plus many more.

Since 2004 Millpond Moon have been keeping up the pace with their European and US tour circuits and plan on continuing that trend.
