About Me

Improvising musician (b.1986) playing several stringed instruments

Espen Wensaas is a musician and multi-instrumentalist (most notably mandolin and guitar) residing in Oslo, Norway. He is widely used in the Norwegian music scene for his abilities to play different music styles and different instruments in addition to being able to improvise. This has led him to work with television, theater and collaborations with musicians from folk, pop, classical, jazz, and other genres. In addition to handle different stringed instruments such as electric guitar, acoustic guitar, mandolin, mandola and cittern, Espen can also offer music performed on bukkehorn (traditional Norwegian folk instrument), goat horn flute, Chinese Hulusi and tin whistle. With good knowledge of several different music styles and with a strong connection to improvisation Espen is well equipped to provide any musical situation with something distinctive and positive.
