Solveig Leithaug
An international Dove award-winning musical veteran, Solveig is a singer-songwriter whose compositions and work reflect her journey from Norway's fjords to Nashville's rivers. From tiny youth gatherings to the Grand Ole Opry with Bill and Gloria Gaither's Homecoming Friends, her honest lyrics and guitar-based pop-folk and Americana-infused sound have been heard live in over twenty nations. Over the years, her music has served as a soundtrack to her listeners in life's ebbs and flows, highs, and lows.
Solveig's 2019 album, Riverside - Hymns & Spiritual Songs, is her sixteenth solo project and has been called the most significant work of her multi-decade career.
"She couldn't have possibly made this album at the age of twenty. At this stage in a career, many artists would have played it safe, compensating for weakened creativity. With Riverside, Solveig does her most vulnerable and finest recording ever."

Solveig has resided in the USA for over twenty-five years. She makes her home with her husband Jim near Nashville, Tennessee, with whom she has a big growing blended creative family.
