Anders Roland & Finn Olafsson
nominated for
Danish Music Awards - Folk 2007

March 1, 2007

It is a pleasure to announce that Danish guitar duo Anders Roland & Finn Olafsson have been nominated for Danish Music Awards - Folk 2007 - in the category "Danish Composer of the Year" - for their most recent album "BLUES".

The nomination represents a natural acknowledgement of that wide range of superb CD reviews in which Danish music journalists are describing "BLUES" using superlatives such as:

- Wonderfully relaxing music - (Jyllandsposten)
- The two musicians are not only faithful towards their own personal style - in a positive sense - technically, they are definitely extremely competent, with an outspoken talent for composing specifically for two acoustic guitars - (Gaffa)
- leading here in Danmark in the genre of acoustic steel-string music - (Folk & Musik)
- Not only are they equilibrists, they are masters of their own unique style - (Helsingør Dagblad)
- The two guitarists know some tricks on a guitar of which only a few others are capable -
- a pleasing lean-yourself-back-total-experience - (Jydske Vestkysten)
- emotional and sincere, but in no way gloomy - a beautiful and quiet record well suited for both intense listening and as pleasant background music - (Midtjyllands Avis)
- Like its predecessor ("DUO"), newly recorded "BLUES" presents a wealth of crispy harmonious sound, and it is being sustained throughout by that deep and mutual confidence which is the fruit of Roland & Olafsson's decades-long co-operation -
(Holbæk Amts Venstreblad & Kalundborg Folkeblad)

The nomination for the category "Danish Composer of the Year" is especially gratifying. Anders Roland & Finn Olafsson have always invested the utmost of energy into their joint-composing, and the creation of new music has always been the primary driving force in their working together.
