“Okay so you take Debbie Harry of Blondie and you make her the lead singer for The Knack. That's it – you've basically got Vibeke.”

Vibeke saugestad

Genuine norwegian power pop!

Vibeke Saugestad is a Norwegian recording artist. She got her breakthrough in the mid-90s with the band Weld, who were awarded the Norwegian grammy equivalent (a Spellemannspris) for their debut album Natural Tools. After touring with a handful of other combos, she went solo early in the new millennium and released 3 solo albums and one EP, with which she toured extensively across the pond and earned lots of airplay on US radio, especially with the singles "He's Peculiar" and "Tonight" from her third album "The World Famous Hat Trick" (Pop Detective Records). Fast forward to 2023: Vibeke now lives in Beacon, NY and for a closing party of her neighborhood bar, she got the idea of bringing her old solo material back to life with a killer new band, consisting of her husband Ken Fox on bass, Mark Westin on guitar, Josh Stark on guitar and Adam Napell on drums. This is genuine Norwegian Power Pop – energetic, joyful and catchy!
