Øystein Munz

Øystein Munz fra Oslo debuterte med CD-albumet Drivgods, rekved på selskapet Voices of Wonder senhøsten 2019. Et drøyt år etter kom Alt for kjærligheten og en vals for en venn på samme selskap. Levd liv, kjærlighet og enkel hverdagsfilosofi preger Øystein Munz romantiske og sorgmuntre toneunivers der melodisk, intrikat gitarspill alltid ligger langt fremme i lydbildet.

Øystein Munz from Oslo, Norway frequently performs on the local folk scene and in singer/songwriter clubs.
In november 2019 he chose the label Voices of Wonder to release his debut album Drivgods, Rekved. A good year later Alt for kjærligheten was released on the same label. Both albums are available on CD.
Acoustic fingerstyle guitar play a sentral role in his music. His songs center on issues like life, death and love, often with a slightly melancoly, but still humourous edge.
On both albums he has employed the talents of multi-instrumentalist and studio-technician Gunnar Kjellsby. On several songs he is also backed by the legendary folk-rock fiddler Øyvind Rauset, as well as the backup singers Anne Cathrine Johansen, Embla Maria O’Cadiz and Yvonne Walderhaug.
The music of Øystein Munz is firmly anchored in a scandinavian tradition where much emphasis is put on the lyrics. However, his ears are also well tuned to the sound of anglo-american folk rock, as well as traditions such as bossa nova, french chanson, and the portuguese fado.
