After ten years of endless driving, wet asphalt, and a high-octane tour bus, the band has mastered their craft from the ground up.  <\/p>\n<p>ORBO &#038; The Longshots have recorded their albums across the Wild West, from the Hardangervidda plateau to the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. After nearly 1,000 concerts, they have opened for acts such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Little Feat, and The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and performed a duet with Delbert McClinton. They were also once booked directly by Eric Cantona to open the Beach Soccer World Cup in Marseille, France. In addition, The Heartbreakers are on their list of fans.   <\/p>\n<p>ORBO &#038; The Longshots &#8211; 10 Years of Authentic Handmade Rock &#8216;n&#8217; Roll from Norway<\/p>\n<p>ORBO \/ lead vocals \/ guitars<br \/>\nIne Tumyr \/ vocals \/ percussion<br \/>\nReidar Opdal \/ vocals \/ piano<br \/>\nPaul Inge Vikingstad \/ bass<br \/>\nStian Tumyr \/ drums<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGram Parsons must be having a blast up there!\u201d BergensAvisen<x id=\"gid_0\"><\/x>\u201cThe band has never been better\u201d Engelen, Music Journalist<x id=\"gid_1\"><\/x>\u201cORBO &#038; The Longshots are fearless.
