about

Norwegian blues guitarist Arne Skage is back with his second full-length solo album following the debut "Procrastination Blues,"
which was released in 2021. Since then, Skage has released a concept EP (2023) and toured both domestically and
internationally with his band The Procrastinators.
The majority of the new album was recorded between January and
April 2023, once again in New Orleans, Flekkefjord, and Stavanger.
The songs are mostly written by Arne Skage, in collaboration with Tom
Roger Aadland, Tim Scott McConnell ( aka Ledfoot) , and Leslie Smith.
The recordings were either made with Skage's live band or a select
group of New Orleans' finest musicians.
The album has a release date of April 19, 2024, and will be distributed
digitally as well as pressed on 180-gram marbled vinyl at T-time vinyl
plant, and CD.
