In the wake of the release of the album \u201cSongs From Notodden Norway\u201d (2023), the band from the blues town has played a series of concerts to rave reviews with new guitarists \u00d8ystein Ytterb\u00f8 and Jens Fjelle. Jostein Forsberg remains the band\u2019s charismatic frontman and leader, with Eskil Aasland (drums) and Tony Caddle (bass) providing a rock-solid rhythm section.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The positive response has opened up new markets, and in the spring of 2025, the band toured Denmark to sold-out shows and received invitations to return for another tour. In February of this year, they returned for a new and longer tour of Denmark. The band will gain more international experience when they visit the famous Sierre Blues Festival in Switzerland this June.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; I&#8217;m really looking forward to returning to Dark Season Blues with this new lineup of Spoonful of Blues. We love playing live and entertaining the audience. Every concert is a joy and a shot of energy for this band,\u201d says vocalist and harmonica player Jostein Forsberg.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#f4f4f4;font-size:12px\"><strong>  Dark Season Blues \u00a92026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spoonful of Blues - Rollercoaster Ride To Hell\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BWK8g62GZ1M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spoonful Of Blues - \u00d8stkanten Bluesklubb -  Herr Nilsen 13.6.2025\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1k43UmOpZTg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spoonful of Blues continues its success with a new lineup.
