Don't Stay For Breakfast

The Fall

Come Summer

Let's Stay In

Hilde Louise Asbjørnsen is a rare and wonderful combination, equal parts musician, poet and storyteller. This enjoyable Scandinavian lady is hailed by Norwegian press as "three parts Monroe and one part Holiday". Hilde Louise's poetry is hypnotic. Her instrumental arrangements are like dark, expencive chocolate - rich, sweet-tasting, and very satisfying, while leaving you wanting more!" Skoot Larsson

Hilde Louise Orhcestra is now touring with the artists 10th solo-album "Don't Stay For Breakfast".

Booking: post@backstage.no

She fronted the Swedish jazz/electronica duo KOOP on their last tour of USA, Asia and Europe, and is the co-writer and vocalist on their single «Strange Love» (launched in USA on Atlantic Records, soundtrack to Coca Colas web commercial "Library").

"The transfixing stage presence of sultry Norwegian vocalist Hilde Louise Asbjornsen stole the show. Her smoky, note-perfect rendition of Strangelove was so close to the record, we wondered if she was pulling a Britney."  Now Magazine, Toronto
