Thomas Dybdahl | The Alternate Side

TAS Interview: Thomas Dybdahl

Posted 7-12-11 by

Singer and songwriter Thomas Dybdahl is a platinum-selling artist in his native Norway, winning the equivalent of his country's Grammy award. He's even borne quick comparisons to Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake and Justin Vernon, but surprisingly, Dybdahl remains relatively unknown outside of Europe. That might change dramatically thanks to the release this month of his new album Songs, his debut in the States. Dybdahl, who kicks off his North American tour at New York's Mercury Lounge tomorrow, July 13, caught up with The Alternate Side and not only discussed what it's like to start anew ... but also revealed his past life as a devoted Metallica fan.
