2012: WORKING IN A THEATER FOR THE FIRST TIME

NEW EUROPEAN TOUR WITH KATZENJAMMER NOV/DEC 2011!

November 4th I will join the Fabolishous band Katzenjammer once again around Europe. I've just released my album '7' in Germany, and can't wait to get back there to play. Katzenjammer will release their second album this fall, and things are taken a step further. I will play support for these extremely talented chicks, and this time I'm bringing some musicians of my own to big venues in Germany. We will also visit Switzerland, Holland, Luxemburg, Belgium and more...

Check out the updated concert list!

22.07.2011: Norway's Black Day

24.06.2011: ALBUM RELEASE IN GERMANY TODAY!

My seventh album called '7' is released in Germany today. Edel is the name of the record company, and this is my first release in Germany since my debut album 'To Whom it May Concern' (Polygram) back in 1998. During my recent tour with Katzenjammer this spring, '7' was  available to the audience in a limited number, but now it's buyable in the shops or through the net, on Itunes and CDON.com. The German version contains an extra bonus track: The radio remix version of 'Revolving Door', remixed by the Mungolian Jetset DJ's (Norway). This CD also contains my cover version of 'Both Sides Now', much like I performed it during the European Tour.

Can't find the CD in your local shop? Go here: 

I hope to go back to Germany to play soon!

16.06.11 & 08.07.11: Festival with a View & Rockefeller Almost Alone

In a few days, June 16th I'll go on stage at Grefsenkollen Festival, overlooking my entire home town. This fabulous location has been a well kept secret to me until now, and I wish the weather will be friendly. We play around 19:15, and after us, Bo Kaspers orkester will soundtrack the sundown.  We look forward to play for 2000 people with sun lit faces!

Intimate summer concert in Rockefeller once again! July 8th I'll come back to my favorite music hall, but this time almost alone. I'll play new and old songs, in English and Norwegian, on guitars and piano. 

Get the stories behind the songs from someone who was there.

NB: Now Grefsenkollen is sold out. Good for us, perhaps bad for you? Come to Rockefeller in stead, or check out the newly updated concert list!

Welcome to a concert near you, as they say :) 

I wish you the best summer ever!

24.05.2011: HARSTAD KULTURHUS: BOB DYLAND FESTIVAL

Bob Dylan turns 70 May 24th. Together with some colleges, I fly to Harstad to join in on the celebration, playing and singing two Dylan songs as duets, with Terje Borg. We're playing 'Don't think twice' and 'Tomorrow is a long time'.

Got to run - have a plane to catch. Happy Birthday Bob! 

06.04.11: EUROPEAN TOUR 2011 SUPPORTING KATZENJAMMER

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have been invited to join Energetic, Multi-Instrumentalistic, Firecrackery, Charm-Invationalized, Hairblowing, Norwegian band KATZENJAMMER (ta-taaaa!) on their astonishing upcoming European Tour 2011 ..... starting.... NOW!

Wednesday April 6th, I tip-toe on stage in Vega, Copenhagen, as their support act. I play solo, and compared to the tempo and exploding arrangements we're all to expect from this Fearless Musical Circus, I only hope the audience have what it takes. I might have to show off my tattoo's or completely shut up between the songs, pretending I'm not a former redhead or a current blonde, but really a dark and mysterious Melancholic with a secret past. I guess I'll have to play it by ear.

I'll bring two guitars and a handful of songs from my recent album '7', and see how it goes. I'm thrilled the girls invited me to join them, and I'll lean back (or jump frantically next to the sound engineer drinking beer from plastic cups) while they play, probably wondering if it isn't about time old Wilhelmsen started to play some more instruments (Katzenjammer does!). Ok, I played a washboard and melodica recently on Sissel Kyrkjebø's Scandinavian Tour, and I HAVE started playing the piano, as I'll demonstrate during the next 5 1/2 weeks, in nine countries, during 26 concerts. Check out the impressive tour plan (concert pages)!

When we get back, summer will have passed Norwegian customs, and I will have new friends!

15.03.2011: Worlds biggest songwriting competition pics 'Orange' lyrics as semi finalist:

I received this mail yesterday: "We are pleased to inform you that the song "Orange", entered into the Lyrics Only category, has been selected as a semi-finalist in the 2010 International Songwriting Competition (ISC). Congratulations on this achievement!"  

Nice. The lyrics of Orange explain sort of how it's possible to be jealous of oranges. Go figure. But it is possible, if you see it in a humorous way, and I often do. Wan't to read the lyrics? Press the link below, and you get the virtual album cover for '7'. Be patient while it's loading. Move your mouse over the bottom corners of the cover booklet to turn the pages. Orange is the 6th lyric. (Must mention I just had a problem viewing the cover in Safari, but not in Firefox or Chrome)...

This is not the first time I'm honored by ISC (International Song Contest):

In 2009, my music video 'Humbly for Her' (Hurricane's Eye 2003) was selected as a finalist (view the video in the Music & Video page in menu bar above).'Everyone's Honesty' (Hurricane's Eye 2003) received honorable mention in the singer-/songer category. ISC received over 15.000 entries in 2010, over 60 nations are represented. Our songs was then judged by Tom Waits, Angelique Kidjo, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chaka Khan, Robert Smith and a number of professionals from the music industry.

Greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark (I'm here playing concerts with Sissel)

23.02.2011: SWEDEN & DENMARK WITH SISSEL

I'm just about to leave for a new period on tour with Sissel Kyrkjebø and her band. We'll play Sweden this February, and Denmark in March. With me, I have my G-sharp Øivin Fjeld guitar and a box of my own CD's. I'm not well known in Sweden, but some people are asking to buy my music after our concerts, so the least I can do is to bring some.

When I'm permanently back in Oslo (April), I look forward to feel spring in the air. And then the Ski VM close to my home will be over.

21.12.2010: My friend Lillebjørn Nilsen's 60th anniversary!

I decided to play him a song at the party. Lillebjørn joined me on stage with his fiddle, it's the first time we've been on the same stage. I've been a fan of Lillebjørn since I was 12. Steinar Ofsdal joined us with his flute, and I felt a bit unreal. What a great evening! Thanks guys!

My best wishes for Lillebjørn.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Thank you for coming to my concerts and for writing messages and caring - through my web and Myspace, in person and through using my music in your lives. If you still haven't bought the album but usually likes my music, I think you should. So far Spotify has paid me ca 0,01 øre every time someone streams one of my songs, and that's nothing.

MY FIRST HALLOWEEN

I've never dressed up for Halloween before. I scared myself looking in the bath room mirror with those lenses. The old favorite dress I bought in New Orleans in 1999 went for yet another spin, for the first time in years. For ten minutes I talked to a person I've met before, and he suddenly asked my name. I had to prove I was me, after ten years as a red head, it was fun trying the opposite: Cyan. Thanks to my friends Svein and Anne Tove, I finally got to see what a reel Halloween party is all about!

November 2010: BEING A 'MAD MEN' GIRL FOR A DAY

In authentic environments from late 50's - early 60's, I was recently photographed for Norwegian magazine 'Henne' - styled to my finger tips - as if I worked as a secretary for the Sterling Cooper ad agency from the popular TV-series 'Mad Men'. Professionals with great taste and insight pampered me all day, and the photos turned out great. A full scale portrait interview accompanies the photo shoot in the October/November issue of 'Henne', which is now out in the stores.

After the shoot, I went out with my hair do and the make-up unchanged, to meet some fiends. They hardly recognized me. Mac self portrait from Hard Rock Cafe, Oslo. 

10.10.10: YEAH!

I followed a link by coincidence today. Browsing around among Arild Rønsen's writings, I found this review of '7'. As the dice used to evaluate music in Norway only has six dots to represent top score, Rønsen decided to give the album 6+. Unheard of. I dig this guy.

September 2010: ALL ABOUT JAZZ' JOHN KELMAN REVIEWS '7':

Album review in Canadian music web All About Jazz:

JOHN KELMAN FROM 'All About Jazz' (Canada) REVIEWS OUR CONCERT AT PUNKT 2010:

19.09.10: GETTING OVER PUNKT 2010

 Once in a while we play at very special Festivals. PUNKT Festival in Kristiansand (Norway), is one of those. It's so special Brian Eno thinks it's the festival of his dreams and John Paul Jones comes to have a good time. David Sylvian remixes live and Knut Reiersrud tells jokes between his songs. Every nuance in Hanne Hukkelberg's and Rockettothesky's voices and music gets displayed. A festival where Arve Henriksen joins in and plays with me on stage in five minutes notice. Music journalists from Canada and Germany and BBC-people buzzing around between concerts. Last time i spoke to VG, they hadn't heard of PUNKT.

This six year old international festival is arranged every year at Agder Teater by Erik Honoré and Jan Bang. On their initiative, the best sound and visual design imaginable, hand picked musicians, international names, an exiting variety and mix of musical genres, and a high sense of quality makes this festival unique. The concept itself is intriguing: Every concert on the main stage gets recorded and immediately remixed by Honoré and Bang or their famous guests downstairs, on the intimate stage of the theatre. The audience hurry down the stairs to get seats, some end up sitting on the floor. Sometimes the remixes explore silence as if it is as important as the music. They turn recorded pieces from the concert upside-down and build new structures in a second. Weird, beautiful, surprising, difficult, humorous, smart and adventurous. I'm glad I was there.

Through collaboration with Erik Honoré and Jan Bang on my new album '7', I came to know what their festival PUNKT was about. This year they invited me to play, and for the occasion I was allowed to perform with Anders Engen, Arve Henriksen, David Wallumrød, Arild Nyborg and Lars Danielsson. It was a night to remember.

15.09.10: Facebook competition: Michael vs Unni

When I started my 'work week' with host Michael at his live show 'Michael Direkte' at P4, we checked and compared friend status on our Facebook profiles, Michael had 1865 friends, I had 1492. Since Michael is on the air every day all year around, I'm not trying to beat Michael in the total amount of friends, but I'm trying to get more new friends than him this week. We just announced this on the air, and Michael already tries to buy new friends, promising them robes and playing cards and other cheap stuff...

Not a member of Unni Wilhelmsen Facebook group ran by the excellent web master Solvår?

 http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=6516664115&ref=ts 

14.09.2010: Getting tattooed on radio show

Accompanied by P4's Michael Andreassen and his microphone, I went to House of Pain in Oslo to add this tattoo to my collection.  

I get a new tattoo for each album I release. I now have seven tattoos, four of them are sea horses down my spine.  

September 2010: Unni live at P4

I brought her cat 'Pippip' to the radio studio. My task of the day was to 'bring a friend', so I did.

Michael had too see my motorcycle 'Zuzie'. My task of the day was 'to bring an object'.

Michael and I visit 'Ida' and Bjørn Hurum: 

'Ida' is the small monkey fossile aged 75 million years. Bjørn Hurum is telling Michael and me about her at the Zoological museum in Oslo where she is displayed behind bullet proof glass. I grew up in this museum, as my mother worked there when my whole childhood.

September 13.-16: Co-hosting a radio show at P4.

I'm joining radio host Michael Andreassen in 'Arbeidsuka', at his daily show 'Michael Direkte' at P4 September 13.-16. Every day from 10:00 - 12:00 you can hear us live doing different 'stunts'.

28.08.10: Unni sings at Momarkens 60th Anniversary live at TV2.

Unni will sing 'The Last Farewell' (Roger Whittaker) live on TV2 Saturday 28th of August (show starts at 21:40). This cover song is among Unni's earliest musical memories, and she knew it by heart at the age of four, without knowing what the words meant.

The celebration, concert and TV show is in support of Red Cross.  

10.07.10: ROCKEFELLER, OSLO: INTIMATE SUMMER CONCERT

Unni Wilhelmsen will be celebrating her new album playing concerts in Norway and Sweden this summer. At Rockefeller in Oslo July 10th, she'll be performing new and old songs on guitar and piano, accompanied with Fredrik Møller Ellingsen (pedal steel guitar, guitars, Mac) and Ronny Johnsen (vocals, bass).

DJ Strangefruit (Pål Nyhus) and Knut Sævik of Mungolian Jetset have made a remix of Revolving Door, the first track from Unni's new album '7'. The song is written during a songwriter work shop in Oslo two years ago. Chris Barron from The Spin Doctors has written the lyrics, Unni and Erik Røe (Baba Nation) wrote the music and melody.                                                                                                                 

Now, the Mungolian Jetset people have taken it further with a different-from-the-album disco version meant for Norwegian radio later on. This version and two more, a dance remix and an extended version, will be available on vinyl EP this summer, physically distributed through a European label. More info to come. The Mungolian Jetset Radio Version of Revolving Door was used as a bonus download track for the first 500 to buy the physical CD in Norway.

We're throwing a release party for the new album '7' that will be out in the stores on June 7th. Free entrance at Blå, Brenneriveien (Oslo). The event starts at 20:00 and ends at 23:00. There will be performed original versions of a few new songs on stage, followed by produced album versions from the speakers. Meet and greet. Welcome!

28.04.10:DELIRIUM PARK: First single from the forthcoming album '7' sent to radio.

The first single from Unni's new album is now sent to radiostations in Norway. The title is Delirium Park, written on piano but recorded with guitar. Produced with samples and programming by Erik Honoré and Jan Bang.

The new album '7' is now on its way from the CD factory, and this time Unni has designed the cover and album art work herself, based on an idea she had waking up one morning. The illustration to the right is the single cover - not the album cover.

Delirium Park will be available for download on Platekompaniet, Itunes, etc very soon.

THE NEW ALBUM TITLED '7' IS NOW FINISHED. RELEASE: JUNE 7th 2010.

This winter Unni has been recording her 7th album. The process is near the end, and the next step will be mastering (March), and printing CD's (April). May will be needed to prepare the promotion. Now the work on album cover, art work and order of songs for the album (index) has started.

The majority of the new songs are written by the large, black Rönisch piano from ca 1880, however, this album will sound radically different from her previous albums.

Experimental productions, compositions, collaborations and live remixing are among the trademarks of producing duo Erik Honoré and Jan Bang. They have recently finished off their 5th Punkt Festival in Kristiansand, Norway. Punkt has become an internationally acclaimed innovation, and people like Brian Eno define it as 'a dream come true'. With collaborators like Eno and Guy Sigsworth, Honoré and Bang keep themselves quite busy on the international  music stage.

Unni has for many years listened closely to the Norwegian band Velvet Belly, where Erik Honoré was the producer and co-writer.  His name has since long been on the list of musicians and producers she'd like to work with. The voice and sound of Jan Bang is also represented in Unni's CD collection of favorite artists, and she's thrilled to have him aboard.

The working title for this new album has for a while been 'No 7'. One of the songs is a result of a writing work shop in Oslo 2008. Together with Erik Røe (Baba Nation) and Chris Barren (Spin Doctors), Unni wrote a song which will hopefully find its place among the others on the album. Apart from nine English songs and a small piece with Norwegian lyrics, the album will also include a cover song she has been playing live the past few years: Joni Mitchell's 'Both Sides Now'. The new record will be out early June 2010, released on Unni's own label, St. Cecilia Music.

2009: MUSIC VIDEO 'HUMBLY FOR HER' INTERNATIONAL SONGWRITING COMPETITION (ISC) FINALIST
