This project was born thru the love of music, and a funny twist of fate. When Lars Ivar and Einar decided to start playing and recording their musical ideas. And they got good feedback from other musicians, they decided to start looking for collaborators that would like to join along for the ride. After searching high and low they got in touch with a lyricist that wanted too write with them…. Then they went out to find a singer, and after a few days of searching they found one, a singer/ songwriter from New Orleans named Tina Jamieson that wanted to join the musical adventure that is Hogweed …
Hogweed: International Passion
Tina Jamieson, a singer/ songwriter from Louisiana, was online when she ran across Einar and Lars, a songwriting duo from Norway. The three exchanged messages and eventually shared music with each other. Tina had been looking for musicians to collaborate with, as well as other music related resources, for quite some time. And she was lucky to find these two! Her singing and guitar strumming would eventually become the blueprint from which Einar and Lars would build around on a myriad of instruments. When she received the first Mp3 back from Norway, she knew this was it. She was amazed at how well they captured the nuances felt in her writing. And so, Hogweed was born.
Einar and Lars will be coming to New Orleans soon to get some studio time in together, and finish the group's first album. Of their up coming efforts, Tina wants local establishments to realize what goes into being a musician when it comes time to pay the band. "This costs money, time, and heart. There's no equal exchange between venues and artists. A lot of people on the outside don't understand that you have your time away from your job. Your evenings are gone, your weekends are gone. You're in the studio constantly, says Tina. Because of the location of these artists, distribution will span across the U.S. and into Germany, Norway, and all of Europe. Such a large financial undertaking will require even larger pockets. The trio has set their eyes on finding their niche in that international market, and hoping that there's somebody there that will see what they have.
As per protocol, Hogweed will be shopping labels, selling T-shirts, getting their CDs out to radio stations, and using the internet to market their wares. However, Tina has chosen to employ locals, rather than outsourcing these duties to out of state companies. We applaud her for her efforts! "Tom from Better Than Ezra is a possible for recording. Lou Rojas with New Orleans Recording Lab did two songs, 'Turbulent Times' and 'You Wonder Why'." She's also considering Tom (Better Than Ezra) for the video shoot of 'It Gets Me High', a song centered around a girl on the bayou. She even lichens Hogweed's sound to the city itself. "It's eclectic like the city; something new and different." Every song draws from her own life experiences. She prefers this to random feel good lyrics prevalent in pop culture. NOM would like to thank Tina Jamieson for this interview, and extend a warm welcome to Einar and Lars. We wish you all the best!
