Sondre Lerche is one of the most intriguing young singer-songwriters working today, melding jazzy folk and punchy pop sounds with an engaging melodic instinct, intimate yet refined arrangements, and vivid lyricism. After early success in his native Norway (named Best New Artist at the Norwegian Grammys), Lerche moved to New York in 2005 and quickly built on his reputation for beautifully crafted songs delivered in an outgoing, immediate style.
