Norwegian singer/songwriter Ane Brun is coming to the US - her album "A Temporary Dive" will be released over here in early 2006. And to help build the antipation, Ane will be playing some shows on these shores in late October. So far all that's booked are two nights (October 25+26) at the Living Room in NYC, but more will probably be on the way.

Check out the video for "Song no. 6" from Norwegian singer/songwriter Ane Brun together with Canada's Ron Sexsmith: http://www.anebrun.com/Video/Ane_Ron.mpg
