«The Holstein United Bluegrass Boys is a band of working-class heroes. They’re all freelance musicians, playing with everybody when not with the band, but they can´t seem to get enough. We met Tor Egil Kreken, the founder of the band, early one morning at the train station, leaving for an out-of-town-gig: At 7:45 he had already had his daily routine of one hour banjo-practice! THUBB is currently rehearsing for their second album - this time as a quartet - as guitarist Kristian Kvalvåg has moved to the US for the time being».
THUBB is: Audun Haugeplass - vokals & double bass, Tor Egil Kreken - banjo & vokals,
Tarjei Nysted - violin & vokals, Kjetil Steensnæs - guitars & vokals.
