Norwegian Musician Eric Ness releases his first EP in the UK

Online, December 2, 2009 (Newswire.com) - London, UK -- Eric Ness is a Norwegian Pop-Jazz musician residing in central London. He has just released his first EP (EP 2009), introducing his "glam-jazz" to the UK. His sound combines 30's Jazz with a gutsy take on modern pop. His message is "Make love, not war"...but from an incredibly ingenious perspective. The EP was recorded in the well known Rainbow Studios in Oslo and mixed by the legendary Jan Erik Kongshaug.

The first Eric Ness appearance took place in Camden Town, London in 2008. Having had a busy schedule ever since, Eric and his band have continued to woe the audience with great success. His inspirations include artists such as Tom Waits, The Beach Boys, The Beatles and Django Reinhardt. The music on Eric's new EP is bold, charming, and full of vitality. It is lyrically clever and melodically titillating...guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

To date, Eric Ness and his new EP have been very well received in Norway. He has already made an appearance at Bolgen (one of Norway's most exciting new venues) performing in front of thousands of smiling people - also being introduced by Norway's most famous TV-hosts, Thomas Numme and Harald J. Ronneberg. This show was broadcast live over the internet. He has received impressive live-reviews and articles in various newspapers in Norway and London. Adam Richardson describes Eric's new EP on glasswerk.co.uk as "...unique, ballsy; as a songwriter he's
infinitely more interesting than your average acoustic-singer". The new EP has been introduced to London audiences in venues such as Barfly, Proud Galleries, Bull & Gate and 93 Feet East. Eric Ness is a talented and gutsy young musician well-deserving of success and attention in the UK.
