Review and photos by Ellen Eldridge The key to success as a musician, over a period of a decade or more, lies in the need to constantly reinvent oneself.

By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn I remember hearing about Thomas Dybdahl when Leslie Fram received his CD at WRXP in NYC. She gave me the CD, and said “Listen to this, you will love it.” Well, she was right. Within the first few songs of listening to the Norwegian singer/songwriter I was hooked. Like Scandinavia’s version […]
