Billie is a great young trio that plays selected Billie Holiday songs in a sober and atmospheric format. The trio have picked out some of the lesser-known gems from Billie Holiday’s short but eventful life, and interprets them in both a nostalgic and contemporary way. The band, consisting of final year students at the Jazz Conservatory in Trondheim, really makes the songs their own and we look forward to hearing Billie live!

Open improvisations and arrangements create the basis for Propane’s musical breadth and historical depth. With strong lyrics, hypnotic drones and polyphonic melodies, songs travel fearlessly in the universe Propane creates. They draw inspiration from all corners of the world, using the power of the voice, the most primitive instrument, while sounding very futuristic. These are singers great to travel with!
