Hans Martin Austestad is a Norwegian singer and instrumentalist especially focused on playing with perceived conformity. This has led him to tune in to other artists' playful eclecticism, really old folk music, and has led him to lead and participate in musical projects of very different styles.
His most notable projects are Austestad, a musical venture in his own mother tongue that crosses all kinds of genre-borders in the search for original sounding pop, and Earlybird Stringband, a country and bluegrass inspired band who suddenly led their attention to the similarities between American and Norwegian folk music.
