Vidar Busk is a Norwegian guitarist, singer, songwriter and record producer in the genres of blues and soul. He grew up in Langesund, but moved to the United States as a 15-year old to play in the band of the American blues artist Rock Bottom. He toured the USA for several years before he returned to Norway in 1990. He had eventually a permanent backing band and their debut album by Vidar Busk & His True Believers titled “Stompin Our Feet With Joy” was released in 1997. The album was well received in the blues community. After having released three albums of energetic and swing-based blues-rock backed by His True Believers, he changed his total style with their fourth album, “Venus Texas” in 2001. The music on the new album was much softer feel and soul while he experimented with other styles. On his following album, Love Buzz, he went even further on his flirtations with other music styles, and had, among other things, two rappers Eye-n-l and Profilen. His latest album, “Jookbox Charade” was released under the name “Vidar Busk & The Voo Doodz”. Vidar Busk has been touring extensively and he has played on most major festivals in Norway and on a number of festivals in Europe and the USA.
