Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on May 12, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Erlend! From jazzing up Wibutee's grooves to orchestrating magic with Madrugada and Kaizers Orchestra, you've proven that musical genius can indeed juggle multiple bands without missing a beat. Your own Skomsork continues to delight ears everywhere—clearly your talent knows no bounds!

Here's wishing you another year filled with improvisational brilliance, unforgettable collaborations, and perhaps fewer moments of explaining how exactly one pronounces "Skomsvoll." Keep swinging those rhythms and charming audiences worldwide; after all these years in music’s spotlight, you're still hitting all the right notes. Cheers to more timeless tunes—and even better backstage snacks!
