Elvis Presley sang \u00abGood Time Charlie’s Got The Blues\u00bb 44 years ago. 8 years later, the band Good Time Charlie was formed in Bergen by Arle Hjelmeland (from F\u00f8rde) and B\u00e5rd Ose. <\/p>\n
Ose became a radio host and a living music encyclopedia, while Hjelmeland kept the band alive with a changing roster of players. Over the last few years he has had Steinar Karlsen (guitar), Morten Skage (bass) and Einar Olsson (drums) along with him. <\/p>\n
The \u00abSpelleman\u00bb nominated album \u00abMojo Energy\u00bb in 2008 clearly placed the band in the \u00abgarage soul\u00bb genre, with a melting pot of intense 60s garage rock and the energetic sounds of soul music. Recently, the band has worked on introducing blues music to a younger public, with the concert concept \u00abJubelblues\u00bb and the albums \u00abDraumeblues and bl\u00e5sus\u00bb (2013) and \u00abJubel and skrubbs\u00e5r\u00bb (2015). Last year they released an \u00abadult album\u00bb \u2013 \u00abReady to Rumble\u00bb. Here on Svalbard GTC will entertain both young and old.<\/p>\n
