Performance | Bernhoft | TEDxSeattle

[@lenawayback6413]

Looks are deceiving. The first time you hear that soothing, gravelly, smooth ,concrete caramel flow outta this flannel- nerdish, Clark Kent Superman of blues- funk-soul ....it's 5 seconds of a reality check..followed by pure alignment

[@CalebG9]

honestly, this dude could be a hit if he was more well known. his skill and vocals are insane.

[@audunlode9798]

+Caleb Grace saw him live a week ago, just epic.

[@viking75ify]

+Caleb Grace couldnt anyone be a hit if they were well known?

[@JeffTheBoss17]

He sold 250k albums though

[@tapwater424]

+Jeff Pesta I wish the ISM album was more known too

[@JeffTheBoss17]

+Anti Mage It's fabulous, that's enough for me :)

[@GerardoGonzalez-zq1mc]

How he does it, it's amazing how talent abounds in this world

[@madalitsonjobvucristoclear]

6 years later still my favorite looper dude

[@staakv90]

He is guarantied the best artist Norway has ever had. He is amazing. :)

[@ThePoohat]

Stian Åkvik what about burzum? lol

[@jtryland101]

+ThePoohat Edvard Grieg had some famous tunes as well? ;)

[@ThePoohat]

jtryland101 yes, Edvard is very famous. most people would have heard his music (at least the peer gynt suites) but many would not be able to attribute that music to his name.

[@giggs102]

watched him live at the troubadour a couple of days ago, BEST show ive ever seen, such a musical genius, musicality just oozes out of him, monster guitar player!!

[@ethansmith9306]

I found this song many years back, and I’m so glad I found it again

[@Nicole.Nicole.Nicole]

So much soul...He's one in a million

[@dalemanring6624]

Unreal.... what a gift!

[@noemiyesfir4177]

I come back to this performance again and again, it brings bittersweet light to my heart!

[@EmmanuelFonte]

This was one of the best sessions that day. The vibe in the room was phenomenal.

[@ViniciusRaphael]

I've never heard about this guy before. How's that possible? He's has a gift.

[@dianemickelson4384]

I just heard his song Falter on the voice Norway where he was a coach fell in love with the song. Love this one too

[@homomangorilla835]

for performance basis, he got 100 up. because he knows how to perform well with presence of mind and using dynamics in every single bit. he has the skills, and i know that many people can do it. but he did it in a nice performance on stage.

[@TabeaKind]

I´m so looking foward to seeing him in a week! I´m a huge fan of him and his talent is soooooo impressive! Greetings from Germany

[@dabuck204]

Amazing, so talented! I find it very comical when people complain about him using loops LOL. How else can one person play all parts of a song. He then plays his guitar and sings while alternating different parts that are looping. Takes so much skill and passion to do what he's doing.

[@jennboyermusic]

the timing of looping alone is a skill in itself. serious props to people who do it and still make it sound like a song (a good one lol)

[@monsterhighfan4416]

This is my first time coming across looping, for a minute I thought he was performing the vocals while lip-syncing the rest

[@monsterhighfan4416]

Where can I learn how to loop live on stage

[@ARecipe4Happi]

Oh my days. This is amazing. I absolutely love what he's done here. So beautiful and talented. Blew my mind. Thank you

[@MehmetBoysal]

Spirit of music and the rhyme moves the man.

[@benjaminvenesia6979]

This is absolutely amazing! This guy has true talent!

[@KBlocker29]

+Benjamin Venesia If you ever get the chance to see him live do yourself the favor. He's amazing.

[@hoobymarburg167]

WOW, what an amazing one man band, green traveling and the groove always on his side.

[@stevemountain3052]

Barnhoft , absoultly amasing gift to all of us ,he ranks with many others ,

[@mihafofo]

the best, i cant stop listening to you, respect from Slovenija

[@almondthefurret6818]

My band teacher showed me this last Friday and I can’t stop bopping

[@mreejeeriksson4056]

BORN WITH THE MUSIC IN HIS SOUL.. A BIG STAR IN MY WORLD.. MR: E , SWEDEN

[@passtheparcel2007]

That should have been a single, as good as anything I've heard in the soul charts! Awesome! Fly Away!

[@Levemcrynnplot]

He's inspiring and I think we could all use some of that right now and write about now. A fresh approach=Excellent!

[@leslettresdemonmoul1]

GRANDE CLASSE ! QUEL TALENTUEUX ARTISTE ! J'ADORE !

[@Imrightyourewrong1]

Thank you KZbin algorithm! Who's here during the shutdown 2020?

[@lewisfitzjohn]

Wow what a voice, and such groovy guitar and bass lines. I'm blown away by the 2nd song :-)

[@Osti46]

I have seldom seen & heard such a talented musician & a groovie music. do it on - I wish you the very best . Your technic is very worked out ! I love your deep voice . Rainer from Bavaria ( south Germany )

[@jesusferrer9832]

Visiting again for the 50th time in 2023. He's just so good. Can someone post lyrics of his songs please xD

[@crispinseattle]

In Norway, he played with a well known band (well known in that part of the world anyway) called SPAN. Then, apparently, a friend gave him a Sly and the Family Stone album and he fell in love with funk. So this is a labor of love for him, not a way to disengage from other musicians. Making music with other is definitely sacred and also fun, but ask any pianist (myself included) who spent hours practicing alone to perfect one piece. Solo music has its place as well.

[@captainsuperfly]

Awesome, good Sir, Amazing vocals.

[@pluctrem1]

This is music from soulland . Beautiful voice

[@Zorbasrhodos]

Jarle Bernhoft was the opening act of the great Joe Cocker's tour in Germany. He is THE soul man of europe awesome! :) Saw him in the "KoePi" Arena of Oberhausen.

[@johnrockwell2717]

First looper I've heard who actually adheres to some sort of sensible song form.

[@nicktaylor1902]

try beardyman?

[@mkri96]

There is no blueprint for music, nothing is wrong or right. And forcing everything within frames makes it boring.

[@Samuel-H]

Dub FX, check him out and you will be amazed

[@rohansarvaria4969]

I think he means that most other loopers can't control the flow, and the looping just gets muddy and out of hand, whereas Bernhoft works his harmonies pretty well and is able to nicely fit different tracks together at different points in the songs.

[@boonloongtan7185]

u s

[@willett25]

This may be my favorite performance of him playing "Fly Away." I'm so mad I missed him at Bonnaroo in 2013!!

[@klausrimdoi45]

You are a genious. You music is wonderful! Old man from Switzerland.

[@tyoung1122]

Bernhoft just rocks!! Crazy talented. Gotta see this guy live... :)

[@noemiyesfir4177]

That was just freakin' amazing! He is one of my new faves!

[@DejchovDejc]

Great blues vocals... pure pleashure to listen .... tnx

[@BillyReedMusic]

This guy's AWESOME!! So talented!!

[@adelitamimi7894]

Amazing musician, incredibly talented and so cool...

[@fridelisabet180]

Kimbra have done something similiar now, too. But since I'm norwegian I heard him first - but he have seen some one else do it before him. And the technic-stuff can everybody who has money and interest buy and learn how too use. He has music in his body and soul, rhythm de luxe ... A capella, Tschuss ;-)

[@uwehorstmann8728]

blues alive..hope to hear more....

[@cristianolinhares9]

Excellent Bern! I think I've seen it a million times! kkk Fly wayyyy \o/\o/\o/

[@timlois]

I hate how unimpressed the crowd is. He should play The Apollo.

[@hakonwisnessreng8008]

His voice is my favorite. Norway all the way! :D

[@christianjackson5447]

Im sat at my computer clapping dude, awesome harmonies.

[@Dankgamer97]

How is Bernhoft NOT more know ? ?? He is sooooo Good!!

[@kostello19]

Ido not know how to coment that Guy! Przyjacielu jesteś moim człowiekiem! :)

[@90059189]

yes he got 2 or 3 albums under benrhoft or Jarle Bernoft! He is great I have seen him 4-5 time playing...amazing :)

[@Lolcoca]

Razerware146 to 0

[@joelgeorge7655]

Wonderful.....it's absolutely beautiful

[@leefowler3240]

well connected on all levels

[@AllanKorup]

Great talent ! -glad he kept playing despite the recession :-) ...he could have chosen the oil business like many of his fellow Norwegians :-) hehe

[@macarenacarneirotort6783]

He is just a music genius ❣️

[@LynnRC1957]

Outstanding Soul, R & B and Fun TOO!

[@MrPppaul]

I can't decide if I love or hate this dude. On one hand he's amazing at music, he looks super cool and funny and he's really good looking. On the other hand, I'm none of those things.

[@JetFalco]

Standing ovation after two songs. :) Most of the biggest pop musicians have to play a 2-hour production with lights, fog, band, dancers to get a response like that. But I guess standing o's happen a lot at Ted Talks. .... but most Ted Talks are longer than 2 songs and a few sentences? .....right?? Bernhoft is gonna get big this year! Just you watch!

[@danielcastaneda7837]

This guy embodies what I have wanted to do for years but just didn't know how about to go about doing it.

[@BeHope2011]

Splendid performance!!

[@garry9156]

wish I had a record lable , I would sign him ......now .

[@lalocanico]

Lo mejor que escuché en este día.... muy bueno¡

[@rocketman2350]

wow! just wow!

[@MissBirkemoseDK]

Jarle Jarle Jarle så insane flink du er!!!!

[@LuizCarlosBig1]

Adoro esse cara! Muito bom o som, técnica, ideia.... ;)

[@duckgoduckgo]

his talent is so ridiculous how come ive never heard of him

[@dianemickelson4384]

He was a coach on the voice Norway that’s where I just saw him. Someone was doing his song Falter for blind auditions and fell in love with the song so now listening to more from him

[@valzap5444]

Бернхофт лучший!!! ❤❤❤

[@mrst0ne495]

Awesome works! Masterpiece

[@fahadafzal1637]

one word *RESPECT*

[@Apollothe3]

Friggin' awesome, I had no idea he was on TEDx. :'D

[@angustarlinton8739]

Musicians like this deserve massive success and worldwide respect, not 'artists' like Justin Bieber or One direction.

[@captainsuperfly]

Are you serious!!!Jeepers you are amazing, fricken amazing!!!!

[@SethLoweakaSquid]

Thanks for the lesson 😃🎶🎶

[@TitiJackys]

Really better on live than the recorded album !

[@TheAdadadada]

Jeezz!!!! What a talent!!! Great stuff!!

[@captbrad8235]

This guy is good watch this

[@TheAdadadada]

Great band! "4 black kids in a whitman suit"! Seen it! This guy lives on a 30ft Hans Christian at the bottom of a melting Norwegian Iceberg. What else would one do with anticipation of doom? Learn to tie knots? Love those BOSS loopers! That's the RC 50 he's playing. Everybody should have 2!

[@gutmorgensurfen]

Awesome playing and singing wow.

[@garry9156]

wow ....love it !!!!

[@michaelcummins2464]

The ups and downs in his voice are excellent. I like the fly away song better.

[@Gman7294]

3:30 when that bass comes in. BAM, guys gots some pipes

[@andersblak]

Spread this talent all over the wold

[@MadDuck]

SERIOUS talent! Oh man!

[@PianoMan365247]

Great use of a Loop machine and a voice which is a cross between John Legend and Jamie cullum!

[@alex8007]
