Welcome to our website

The band "The Deep Roots" consists of three young brothers,
 who has been playing music nearly their entire lives.
 
The oldest, Aksel; decided early that he should be a musician. When he was 3 he decided that he wanted to play tuba. And he started on tuba when he was 6 years old, and played frequently in the local school band in almost 10 years. He got his first bass guitar when he was 12 and since then the bass has been his main instrument. He is also the band's lead singer, and has been singing for three or four years now.

Thor Erling's the bands guitarplayer. He started his music career  on clarinet when he was six years. The surroundings were soon aware that this was a special musician. He showed quickly that he was a musical talent, and plays most instruments without any problem. He has also played in the local school band.
When he was 9, he switched to saxophone, and since then, this has basically been his main instrument.Han constantly surprises with his skills on jazz saxophone! He got his first electric guitar at age 9, and has got a quite few of them now. Thor Erling plays some sort o instrument almost all the time...

Karl August is the youngest and drummer in the band.He actually started playing trumpet in school band when he was 6, but walked quickly over to the instrument he mostly wanted to play, the drums. And he has continued to play the drums since. He plays the "air drums" wherever he is located. whether it is at school, at home or with friends. Fingers and legs drums incessantly, which at times can be rather intolerable
