Sie Gubba

Formed in 1995 within Ålen i Gauldalen, Norway, danseband Sie Gubba features Petter Øien on vocals and guitar, Magne Almås on guitar, Hans Skogaas on bass, Ingar Engan on fiddle, Ola Dragmyrhaug on accordion, and Tommy Folstadli on drums. Their first album, Jakta Ti Alle Fjell, appeared in 1998, after which came Lynx'n in 2000, Lørdag E'det Faest in 2002, Bykar in 2003, and Sie Gubba in 2006. Mainstream breakthrough arrived a decade later via the ten-year anniversary live album Sånn e Livet, which compiled standout tracks from the preceding years. Follow-up effort Hemafrå, released in 2009, also fared well by entering the Top Ten of the Norwegian albums chart.
