Erlend Øye & The Group

Having moved to Syracuse a few years ago, in January 2018 Erlend Oye (Kings of Convenience, Whitest Boy Alive) decided to invite his Syracuse friend Stefano Ortisi for his upcoming solo tour in South America, to accompany him on piano and sax. Luigi Orofino (cavaquinho) and Marco Castello (guitar and trumpet) also took the opportunity, jumping on what was expected to be a simple journey and which instead will give life to the Sicilian acoustic project La Comitiva. 

Since then the new formation has accompanied the Norwegian singer around the world, offering original songs as well as reinterpretations of his signature songs.
