News: Kenneth Weines

Norwegian Country Music artist

Kenneth Weines Country Music ArtistCountry music artist Kenneth Weines from Harstad, Northern Norway in Scandinavia, writes his own music, and in January in 2005 he recorded his first album.
Ten of his own songs were recorded in Mainframe Recording Studio in Nashville, TN, with the best musicians available. The owner of Mainframe, Nathan Smith, claimed Kenneths vocal performance surpassed many successful American C&W singers. Playing with his band all over Norway, Kenneth has gained a reputation for being one of the best country artists in Norway today.

At 18 years old, Kenneth Weines was discovered by Norwegian radio station Nrk Troms. He was invited to their studio to record a four track radio demo, with fellow musicians Geir Høyvik (guitars) and Jørgen Enoksen (bass). This turned out well, and Kenneth started to make his music his livelihood playing local venues, while the demo tracks were being played on radio stations all over Norway. Since then Kenneth and his band have harvested good criticism and made a good reputation for themselves, by being true to the genre and delivering a genuine product to country fans in Norway. Kenneth has received the "Masters by Mario´s" award in his home town Harstad, for his go-ahead spirit way of work with his music, as well as representing his home town as a touring musician. Kenneth is signed on the record label Norwegian Tylden, and his first album "Kenneth Weines" went on sale in June 2005. The song "Leave me alone" peaked at nr.2 on the Norwegian music chart "Norsktoppen". The video for "Moonbeam over Texas´s skies" was included on a text-message-based voting TV show "Svisj" - but was removed after a few months because it was playing almost all the time.

During his career Kenneth Weines has performed at all the major Norwegian country music festivals and has performed on stage with artists such as Dr.Hook, Lynn Anderson, and Kasey Lansdale amongst others. In addition he has warmed up the public for legends such as Alan Jackson, Wanda Jackson, Lynn Anderson, Dr.Hook, Steve Earle, Marty Stuart, and Tanya Tucker.

A Kennet Weines experience is a true county music experience that should not be missed.
