December is a month of celebration, in so many ways. We at Bergen Bonanza always look forward to inviting lots of guest artists to dedicate a whole evening to one artist or theme. On 2 December it will be a LINDA RONSTADT special!
Linda Ronstadt, known as the “Queen of Country Rock” and for one of the very best voices in the business. She has sold 50 million albums, and 100 million albums and singles combined. In addition she has collaborated with the very biggest artists. She is especially known for the trio project with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris, who released two albums together. Her backing band later became The Eagles, and she has collaborated with Neil Young, Paul Simon, Johnny Cash +++ Phew... We are excited!
As usual there will be plenty of excellent guest artists, and top atmosphere!

BERGEN BONANZA is a monthly live concept, arranged in Bergen (usually) on the first Wednesday of the month at 20:00-22:00. Each evening the house band plays a selection of song treasures within blues, country, folk, alt country and bluegrass. The house band consists of some of the best musicians in Bergen. And every month they are joined by some of the finest the West Coast has to offer in terms of vocalists, songwriters and instrumentalists.
The concert is supported by Bergen kommune and Fond For Utøvende Kunstnere.
