The Inspired Music of Bernhoft

Bernhoft - Photo by Fred Jonny

A few years ago, the only Eskimo I think I know, recording artist/producer Kelly Moneymaker, turned me onto Jerle Bernhoft, a.k.a. Bernhoft. Bernhoft has been emerging for years and fine tuning his own brand of soul music in his native country of Norway.

Bernhoft is seriously inspired in terms of songwriting, his very soulful vocals and in terms of his ability to play guitar, bass & piano and create percussion sounds out of thin air while setting up loops with his feet that forms a serious wall of sound. He is the ultimate one man band.

***In these first three recordings below, these are actual live recording and there are no overdubs. seriously for real!)

Bernhoft and his track entitled Cmon Talk.



Next is Bernhoft and his track titled Choices



Next is Berhoft and his unreleased track entitled Since I was a Little Kid



Next video below is a song where he breaks from his usual pattern of being a one man band running loops, being a beatbox and playing multiple guitars all while singing his ass off. In this live performance video, he simply sits down at the piano and sings.

Bernhoft - Stay With Me


And last but not least is Bernhoft with more of a studio track and a real music video to his song titled So Many Faces.

The badass sounds of Unlocking The Truth

Unlocking The Truth
Photo from a recent Cole Haan clothing company holiday ad campaign! 

Just below is a 33 minute performance of a tasty young independent group found via a New Year's Day tweet on the Twitter page of Cree Summer who is presently the featured artist on MusicTelevision.Com - The group, which has a sound that the hard rock band LivingColour.Com would be proud of, has apparently been getting a lot of major league attention lately. The group was even featured in a advertising campaign for the clothing company Cole Haan.

The group called the performance below their "Farewell Show" in Time Square New York back in June 23, 2013. More from these guys soon!

Nneka (Live at the Rototom Sunsplash)

For those unfamiliar with Nneka, she is a serious political anti corruption activist minded artist of substance. Those who cherish and seek this sort of substance will love Nneka. Her songs often sound like personal love songs at first listen, only for the listener to get sucked into deeper messages with heavy stories of corrupt leaders, pillaged countries, stolen dreams and the desperate lives of real people in real places.

The full concert film below is of Nneka's performance at the The Rototom Sunsplash, shot in August 2013 during the 20th anniversary for the festival. Rototom Sunsplash takes place in Spain on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in the resort town of Benicàssim, a NY walk from Castellón.

The entire concert is excellent, but a favorite start off point for return viewers is at the 22 minute point when she performs her song titled Do You Love Me Now, followed up by songs where the band grooves hard for the remaining 30+ minutes.

Trixie Whitley - Need Your Love (Live Video)

Photo courtesy of Athos Burez.

Trixie Whitley has been featured on The Indies family of music sites multiple times and her songs often reemerge onto the most played lists again and again.

She has been touring worldwide and there are so many great videos of her appearances. Just found this great take of of her song titled Need Your Love filmed live in Japan on a Internet show called On The Shelf TV. She delivers the song in a different way than I've heard before. It's a unplugged sort of thing with a swamp bucket funk sort of feel. It's soulful! Her accompanying musicians give it a minimalist flair and perfectly placed sounds. Love it!
