THE NORWEGIAN FORDS (TNF) is:
Erik Enzo and Paul Call.
Put short, TNF's music is a kind of pop – catchy and sophisticated, with jazzy harmonies, and lyrics on familiar subjects, but with a twist. TNF’s biggest goal is to break through in the US.
Their debut album has been released this year, and has been mixed by double Grammy-winner Bill Schnee at Schnee Studios in Hollywood, LA. Schnee has recorded, produced and mixed hit- records that have sold almost a 100 million copies alltogether. These include records by Whitney Houston, Chicago, Miles Davis, Steely Dan, Diana Krall, Sergio Mendes and Dire Straits, to name a few… The album has been mastered at the world famous Mastering Lab in LA, by another double Grammy-winner, Robert Hadley.
Before TNF got lucky, Erik got in touch with David Lasley (a great songwriter, and James Taylor's backup vocalist for many years). David fell in love with the music, and took Erik and the songs of TNF to the great Bill Schnee.
Erik Enzo:
Vocals, keyboards, songwriter.
Has released 4 pop albums in Norway, with his former band
"elle melle", performing over 150 live concerts.
Erik has been interviewed on nationally broadcasted radio more than 25 times, and has performed on nationally broadcasted TV 6 times. Several of his songs have been A-listed on radio, nationwide in Norway, and have become timeless classics that are still being played on national radio almost every week.
Paul Call:
Guitars, songwriter, lyricist.
Paul writes all TNF-material with Erik, but has also been co-writing songs with him for the "elle melle"-records and other Norwegian artists, mainly as a lyricist. Next to his passion for playing and song-writing, Paul works as copywriter.

THE NORWEGIAN FORDS' SUPERB DEBUTALBUM CAN BE PURCHASED ON ITUNES AND OTHER DIGITAL STORES!
IT CAN ALSO BE PURCHASED BOTH PHYSICALLY AND DIGITALLY AT WWW.MUSICONLINE.NO
Erik Enzo and Paul Call: We are both working halftime dayjobs, and our dream is to live by our writing and doing gigs with THE NORWEGIAN FORDS.
We love California, and we go there at least one time a year. We're DESPERATELY looking for a manager/ management in LA, to help us get going. Eventhough today's US musicscene is mostly dominated by Urban, Rap and (often fabricated) rockbands, we believe that many people in the US will love our debut-album. It has a kind of "Old-school"- WestCoast- sound to it,much thanks to the great Bill Schnee, who mixed it, we just need to tour over there!!!
So...any manager/ management who loves great music that is performed even better live: Don't hesitate to contact us!!!
Paul and Erik:-)
