Kjetil Landsgard
Kjetil playing at Pouce Coupe Canada Day Celebrations July 07	Kjetil was born in Norway, taking interest in music at an early age... Musical influences helping form the musician he is today were Ugly Kid Joe, Roxette, Bruce Springsteen, and COC.  Unfortunately for his mother's ears, Kjetil fell in love with the distortions of the electric guitar and that force has been present in most of his musical production ever since. Back in Canada, Kjetil jammed with musicians through high school and started writing songs when he was fifteen.  He started his first serious band when he was twenty-three.  No Ones Alone was a five-piece hard rock band starting out with a catalogue of Kjetil's songs and then evolving into collaborative writing with the band.  Two years into that band, Kjetil formed a solo project called Landsgard into which he continues to feed new material of both the hard rock and folk genres.
