Hello Everyone,
Lief Sorbye was my guest for Live Your Music this week.
Hailing from Oslo, Norway, Tempest’s founding member and lead singer/electric mandolinist, Lief Sorbye, is recognized as a driving force in the modern folk-rock movement. He started Tempest after years of touring and recording on the folk circuit.
Since forming in 1988, Tempest has delivered a globally-renowned hybrid of high-energy Folk Rock fusing Irish reels, Scottish ballads, Norwegian influences and other world music elements. The last 26 years have seen the San Francisco Bay Area-based act release fifteen critically acclaimed CDs and play more than 2,000 gigs. They've also enjoyed an evolving line-up that's enabled musicianship and creativity to rise with each new member.
During the show I played the title track from the new Tempest album The Tracks We Leave. The photo above shows the band with Robert Berry at Soundtek Studios in Campbell, CA during the recording of the album. If you'd like to see a fun YouTube video taken while recording the album, click here.

Lief Sorbye is a fantastic example of someone who is living his music and it was fun talking with him on Live Your Music today!
I love his song The Tracks We Leave that I played during the show. It's the title track for the Tempest album, The Tracks We Leave, which is being released on February 24, 2015. There is going to be a CD release party at ASHKENAZ in Berkeley, California on February 28, 2015. To get tickets for the CD release party, click here.
