Erik Moll

Erik Moll (born 7 September 1948) is an American-born Norwegian-singer-songwriter, inspired by the tradition-based styles such as traditional folk, country, blues, swing, gypsy, tex-mex, calypso and rock music.

Biography Moll moved to Bergen, Norway in 1961, picked up the guitar, and started writing his own songs. He performed his music on local bars and venues in Bergen in the 1960s. In the 1970s he started the Bergen-based band Hole in the Wall together with his friend Rune Walle. They released the self-titled debut album in 1972. From 1973 he was four years in California joining in with the bands «Happy Valley» and «The Remnants». Back in Norway he organized a new edition of the «Hole in the Wall» and the second album Rose Of Barcelona (1979) was released.

In the 1980s he joined the Norwegian band «NRI» in Copenhagen, had his own «Erik Moll Band», led the Bergen calypso group «Bolingo» (with a self-titled single in 1983), played a lot of solo concerts, and also established the hitherto latest edition of the «Hole in the Wall».
