Raw Deal is a bunch of fine musicians, devoted to the art of having a good time, and making good music while they're at it. With a fine selection of songs borrowed from people like Hank Williams, George Jones, Lefty Frizzell, Sonny Fisher, Bob Wills, Fats Waller, Django Reinhardt, Buck Owens, Elvis, Eddie Cochran and many more, and a handful of gems they have crafted by hand all by themselves, they are up to the task when it comes to making the audience scoot a boot, cry a tear, or just smile and have a helluva great time.
Check them out if they play near you, or even better, contact them, and they will come to you. The price is right!!!
As you can see, this band must be great. But don't take our word for it. Come hear for yourself. Or listen to the samples below:
Return to WHOAAH!
Tom Ekeberg
Singing with heartfelt honesty, whether it's sad Honky Tonk or raw Rockabilly. And constantly beating out a steady rhythm on that guitar.
Bernt Hjartland
Guitar picker extraordinaire. He could list his influences from here 'til next week. From Django and Chet Atkins, to Jimi Hendrix and some other fellows with long hair. If we could only get him to play a Telecaster!
Jon Arve Lillemark
An impressive finger picker and slide slider. Runnin' his acoustic guitar through a powerful amp for a distinctive sound and impressive style. Influenced by the greats of country and bluegrass.
Judith Naerland
A powerhouse of rhythm and musicality. She's slappin' that doghouse with a mean beat, but also with a fine ear to melody line. And she's a great harmony singer.
Jon Aage Nilsen
He's got a varied background from jazz and rock, but now he's delivering a solid beat to this great band. His only complaint is that he hardly gets to play 4-beat. Two step, shuffle, waltz and polka is the name of the game here.
