JT & The Buckshot Hunters
Story.
J.T. Lauritsen & The Buckshot Hunters
J.T. had his first paying gig at the age of 14, which resulted in a steady flow of gigs for him on the Hammond B3 - an instrument he stayed with for many years. J.T. was searching for his own style on the instrument when he had to admit that a B3 was too heavy to drag around from gig to gig - so he compromised by taking up the accordion. Eventually, he took up the harmonica as well, and his blues harp began accompanying him wherever he went, adding a new sound to J.T.'s music. Since 1989, both the Accordion and the Blues Harp have been his trademark instruments.
In 1991, J.T. founded The Buckshot Blues Band with the now well-known Norwegian blues guitarist, Vidar Busk.
1995
The band changed their name to The Buckshot Hunters, and they released their first CD, "Buckshot Hunters". The album received solid reviews in Norway and abroad. The band toured continuously for the next couple of years. The album sold over 3000 copies which laid the foundation for their next release, "My Kind of Blues".
