July 9, 2023He was perfect for our event. He had a full 90 minute set. His voice and musicality were spot on. He is talented on a number of instruments. He took time to set up and get the sound right for each instrument well before his start time and he came as promised an hour before his start time. His renditions were faithful to the material. He had nice between-song banter that got more than a few chuckles from the audience. Most importantly, our audience was quite pleased with his set. I would and hope to hire him again.

Kristoffer's performances are fun-filled yet reflective. Kristoffer interacts with his audience throughout, and introduces most songs with stories of their origins, backgrounds on the traditional trades he sings of, or tales that are simply too witty to pass by.

I can usually bring my own PA, requiring 1 120v outlet, but please let me know which is the case. If the house provides PA, usually need 3 channels: vocal, guitar preamp, and instrument mic(this one requires phantom power)
