Rhythm section

Olaf Schjelderup (bass)

Olaf is one of the founders of EHEM (1987) and does EHEM's basslines with his trusty old Music Man Sting Ray Bass. He shares the tour manager’s fascination for vintage cars, outdated sound equipment and runs a recording studio. Born in Sortland, Olaf now lives in Trondheim.   

Herold Myrland (guitars)

Herold is also one of the founders of EHEM (1987) and is in charge of booking and tour planning. He is a true multitasker and is able to go without sleep for weeks. Herold, originally from Bardu, lives in Narvik, Norway.

Anders Øgsnes (guitars, harmonica, vocals)

Anders is a member of the original EHEM crew (1987), since when he has introduced the band members to hundreds of secret jazz chords. Anders lives in Narvik, Norway.

Roy Stenersen (guitars, vocals)

Roy has played in EHEM since the very beginning. He is also touring Norway with other bands, such as Banana Airlines, K.M. Myrland & Vante Folk. Roy is born in Sortland and now lives in Tromsø, Norway.

Vocals

Janne Hemmingsen (vocals)

Janne joined EHEM in 1993. She is known to happily burst out in song any time, at any place. Janne also performs with the cover band Charcoal and the vocal emsemble Asker Bel Canto. She is born in Balsfjord, but now lives in Asker, Norway.

Hilde Holte Eriksen (vocals)

Hilde joined EHEM as a stand-in (2003) and has not missed a tour since. She often embarrasses the band with her ad hoc performances in hotel piano bars along the tour route. Hilde made her first public appearance in her hometown Grimstad in 1973. She lives in Oslo, Norway.

Jan Arild Sørnes (lead vocals)

Horn section

Richard Arntzen (saxophones)

Maria K. Strand (baritone saxophone)

Maria joined EHEM in 2008 as the first female member of the horn section. She constantly tries to force her mates to dance on stage, shouting ”moves, guys, moves” throughout the entire concert. Maria lives in Sandvika, Norway and grew up in Haramsøy at Sunnmøre. 

Kjetil Vedholm (trumpet)
Kjetil first joined the band on the "Megaphone Tour" in 1992 and has been in shock ever since. The man with the unpronouncable Norwegian name is currently residing in Gothenburg, Sweden. Born and raised in a beautiful small town, yet a narrow-minded shithole on the west coast of Norway. 

Morten Brochs (trumpet)

Morten joined EHEM in 2008 as a full-time member, but has played with the band on previous occasions. He also plays the bass in other bands in Narvik, Norway, where he lives.
