07/01/13 NEW MUSIC with JT Lauritsen

JT Lauritsen first joined me on August 27, 2012 after we had met during one of his many trips to Memphis.

And it was during one of those trips where he spent a day at Ardent Studios and cut a bunch of tracks with his friends here.

Jan Tore Lauritsen, (JT for short) is 42 years old living in Lillestrom, Norway.

He began playing at the early age of 6 and pretty much immediately got interested in the Blues and related music after first hearing BB King, blues pianist Charles Brown and the legendary Ray Charles.

After realizing the B3 was too much to lug constantly, JT took up the Accordion and has been making some great blues music since.

JT sat and discussed his life and how he ended up performing at the age 14 and the road that began for him.

During our chat, we played songs from the album "Squeezeboxing" from JT and his band The Buckshot Hunters.
