about
= About C.Strøm =
Little is known about C.Strøm from Ålesund, Norway. He's maybe showing up at a local Open-Mic session in his hometown. His favorite place is at home, where he learns old folk songs in his own way and plays his pump organ. Sometimes he records them in one take onto his Craig portable tape-recorder from late sixites. Strøm is influenced by John A. Lomax, The Carter Family, Pre-War-Blues, traditional folk songs and everything else that got pressed onto 78s back in the days. On roughly tuned instruments, Strøm stomps, strums and sings himself through an extensive catalog of titles that also include own songs ("Letters from Earth"). He is passioned about learning and playing these songs, and in the best folk traditions he's all self-taught.
