Sondre Lerche Schools Us On The Pronunciation Of Norwegian Band Names
Last week I went to the Norwegian Consulate in Manhattan, where all Norwegian musicians live when they play Bowery Ballroom (someone fact check that), and I ran into Sondre Lerche, the Bergen-born singer-songwriter who just released a lovely new album called 'Acrobats' on PLZ/Virgin. He’s on tour in the US this month before heading home for a run of shows in Norway. The post Sondre Lerche Schools…
Last week, I visited the Norwegian Consulate in Manhattan, a place where Norwegian musicians reside when they perform at the Bowery Ballroom. There, I encountered Sondre Lerche, a singer-songwriter from Bergen who recently released an album called "Acrobats" under PLZ/Virgin Records. Sondre is currently touring in the US before returning to Norway for a series of shows.
He kindly taught me the correct pronunciation of the names of some other Norwegian artists I had been mispronouncing for years. Despite practicing beforehand, I still struggled with it. Watch the demonstration below and see if you were aware of this information. Tickets for Sondre's tour are now available, and it's a happy birthday to Morten Harket, the frontman of a-ha.
The tour dates are as follows: September 15 in Chicago, IL at Lincoln Hall; September 16 in Minneapolis, MN at The Cedar; September 19 in Los Angeles, CA at Sid The Cat Auditorium; and so on, until December 2 in Groningen, NL at Simplon.
