Ole Frimer Band
Also known as: Ole Frimer / Frimer Band / Blue Junction
Ph.D. biologist turned virtuoso Danish blues guitarist - Frimer Band, Blue Junction, and beyond.
Musical Influence
Frimer's influence rests on a genuinely unusual guitar voice — built on an unorthodox pick-free technique shaped by Jim Messina, Albert Collins and Jeff Beck — and on Blue Junction's run of European recognition (two Real Blues Awards, a Danish Music Award) that made Danish blues guitar playing visible on the continental scene through the 2000s (Kilde: Wikipedia).
