One of their founders and lead guitar is Norwegian born Lief Sorbye. I've heard Lief play with his acoustic group (Caliban) in a small pub, and with Tempest, the larger, louder, rock-folk version at festivals. They're talented musicians who've found a solid folk-rock niche. If you're looking for a "traditional folky" sound, you will probably be disappointed in Tempest. If you're looking for folk-influenced rock music, you might just enjoy them. The website is www.tempestmusic.com Cheers pj |

I risked one of their CDs ("Magna Carta") and found it more of a mediocre "celtic" heavy metal." Wasn't my taste but others do like it - you may want to listen before buying. Rana |
