Embla and the Karidotters (Norway)

Embla and the Karidotters won the Spellemann prize in country music for their debut album Hello, I'm Embla. Handpicked by Americana star Nikki Lane, they played at the Stagecoach in California in April. Embla's characteristic voice accompanied by the star-studded Karidotters mixes the timeless country expression with raw and fresh elements. They make people who did not like country music love the genre, as well as making the critic happy.
