Aleksander Hauge

Aleksander Hauge's music, poetry and stories reflect the experiences of Norwegian immigrants from Karmøy. His material is unique and authentic. He has a lot to say and communicates with authority and artistic passion, preserving memories and knowledge of the recent past.

Hauge's warm voice and inclusive stage appearance and his ability to create recognition and touch the minds of his audience explain why he is frequently invited to perform in the United States. He links the last emigrant generation from Karmøy with their homeland. In a way he writes the last chapter in a saga which is nearing the end.

Both as a man of action and as a cultural entrepreneur Aleksander Hauge has made his mark. Audiences will see how important our recent history is - and how far and strange the recent past suddenly can become without an inspired troubadour and storyteller to care for it and carry it on.
