Brother | The Antiquarian | 24 July

The Sørland band Bror represents the big brother many wish they had – the one who always has a guitar on his shoulder and a story lurking. He sits by the fire and makes people listen; sometimes you laugh, other times the words sit like a little lump in your throat.

With richly illustrated narratives, everyday observations and a unique ability to create recognition, the band conveys stories that are experienced as both personal and universal. Inspired by the Norwegian folk song tradition, Bror continues the legacy of Ole Paus and Lillebjørn Nilsen, while also making their own mark with new perspectives and a modern soundscape.

In May, the band released their second EP - Samvirkelag. With warmth and thoughtfulness, Bror puts words to the familiar and recognizable, and invites the listener into a universe characterized by calm, reflection and presence.

The winter of 2026 has been an active period for the band, with concerts at festivals in Oslo, recommendations from P3 Urørt on all songs from the debut EP "Veiviser", as well as a sold-out concert at Vaktbua in Kristiansand and a support job for Delillos at Kick Scene.

The audience can expect an evening of intimate stories, musical presence and songs that strike a balance between the everyday and the timeless.
