Ole Børud and Stonemountain Orchestra meet in a joint tour through eleven Swedish cities. With a 14-piece band on stage and one of the Nordic region's most influential voices at the front, a concert experience awaits that moves from swing and energy to the close and stripped-down.
When Ole Børud has previously visited Stonemountain Orchestra, the response has been overwhelming - three evenings that all left the audience with the feeling of having experienced something out of the ordinary. It was also there that the idea of a joint tour was born. The result is a concert filled with contrasts: grand arrangements where the whole band steps forward in full force, and moments where the music is scaled down and allowed to breathe in the simple and vulnerable. A full evening that puts the live experience at the center - everything happens in the moment, with the audience as an obvious part of the journey.
Ole Børud has long been an obvious reference for musicians in the Nordic countries. His funky west coast sound has left its mark on an entire generation, and in the meeting with Stonemountain Orchestra - a band that combines precision and playfulness - a musical chemistry arises that is hard to resist. Tickets here.
Since the early 2000s, Ole Børud has established himself as one of the Nordic region's most unique voices in soul, funk and west coast. As a singer, guitarist and songwriter, he has created a sound that combines precision with a natural, captivating swing. His solo albums have become references for musicians far beyond Norway's borders, and many describe him as a source of inspiration that has shaped their own musical journey. In the fall of 2025, Ole released his latest studio album Sleepwalking Again - a highly anticipated release that further cements his position as one of Scandinavia's most respected artists in the genre.
Stonemountain Orchestra is a 14-piece band from Sweden that moves in the borderland between pop, soul and funk - always with curiosity and the joy of playing at the center. The group started in 2018 as an experiment in rapid-fire arranging: interpreting and reshaping familiar songs into new musical outfits in record time. Since then, the band has grown into a renowned live band with both their own songs and acclaimed collaborations in their repertoire.
In March 2026, the band will release their second studio album - a record that further develops the sound established on their debut album Make It Work (2023) and takes the next step in the journey between pop, soul and funk. You can see and hear them at Rival on Friday, May 29 - tickets here.
