Agreed. His albums need to be just like his performances. Raw and not overproduced. The only one man band I've ever seen that has the ability to produce a fully melodic well rounded sound (as opposed to just a few chords over and over.)
I had the pleasure of meeting Bernhoft at Sylvia’s soul food restaurant in Harlem, NYC back in 2015 shortly before he gave a concert at the Apollo theatre together with Allen Stone. Bernhoft is an absolute class act and the Bernhoft/Allen Stone concert at the Apollo afterwards is still one of my favorite concerts I’ve ever been to. Absolutely brilliant musician and artist
All I can say is...WHOA!!! Is this guy a unicorn or from another dimension because, I have NEVER SEEN a more talented but innovative musician, except maybe for PRINCE(RIP) If you know anything about music or recording, you can definitely understand how amazing the sky. Really is, layering. His? Own base putting. A? Base string. On a 6 string acoustic guitar and using it for a base and rhythm using his mouth his voice and the back of an acoustic guitar for his rhythm and back. Up section. … is he crazy or just a fucking genius?
I think his amazing voice always overshadows how good a musician he is. The riffs and beats he comes up with are second to none. The way he plays the guitar while singing is also incredible. Ask any guitar player how difficult it is to play melodies while singing. You almost need two brains for that!
You said it, it's really an overwhelming amount of talent to take in, and he's able to let it all out at once somehow! He's very modest and not show offy with his playing, which is a mark of a killer guitar player. Just incredibly musical all around, not to mention the soulful yet intellectual lyrics....
I hear people describe him as "retro soul" all the time. I don't think that's fair to him. This is straight up soul. As contemporary and soulful as it comes.
I guess that implies you haven’t gone through his discography. One of a kind artist with an immense load of wad blowing music, impossible to pin under 1 genre
Oh, 150k views, huh? Now we're going somewhere. Bernhoft is golden, man, just pure talent. Doesn't take a music genius to see his tremendous craftsmanship. I mean, what's with that control? Pure brilliance in his melodic choices and lyrics. Just go ahead and share already!
Don't get me wrong, he's incredible and I love his music (and how insanely good he is live) but he does make a mistake at 1:17. When he turns off the loop pedal he waits just a little too long to turn it back on again. Still awesome music and a crazy good performance tho!
After watching dozens of Bernhoft live videos, I'm convinced that his talent, soul, compositions, and more recent stage presence are all on par with Prince.
I've been searching for his music for a while now, after a good friend had showed me when I was demonstrating Ableton. His talent is unreal; it really does take a special skill to be able to sync everything so well, as he does. Very glad to hear his music again.
Jarle Bernhoft is a multitalented artist, not only making his own my music but also extremely good to play multiple instruments and have played for some of the most famous artist regarded to guitar and bass in studio , and he has a beautiful voice, are able to carry out emotion while singing, especially those songs who really need it, like , even it is not his songs. When it all comes to all, I hope he get the recognize he deserve of being a great artist. Thank you Jarle for sharing your Talent!
Helt unikt! Tenk at denne mannen får ut all den musikk, sang og dans, gaver jeg har medfødt, som jeg selv aldri fikk muligheten til å formidle og synge ut til verden.Tenk om jeg en dag får en nydelig sjanse til alle de medfødte gaver jeg selv har måttet legge lokk på i alle år, av triste vonde ikke-selvforsyldte årsaker. Stå på, Flotte Jarle Bernhoft!
Bernhoft is my boy. I have his CD Solidarity Breaks and it is excellent. I heard him the first time by accident while watching the video channel here in Germany with the song C'mon Talk. If you haven't heard that one, you really should check it out. This guy is an amazing one man band. Mr. Bernhoft I have to use the highest compliment we used when I was in the Army. Simply put sir you are OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!
This guy is really incredible! Everything is just amazing, the sound the groove the soloing and the vocals. And live please! Hope he ll get some day the credit he deserves worldwide because he s a pure talented artist.
@@ThaMightyWon I agree. I never listen to his studio productions. They take away from the magic of his looping mastery. I love the guitar percussion, the muted strings, the clapping, the beatbox, the mouth harmonization and the raunchy real-time effects. It's his magic.
Actually met him back in 2011 when he had a concert in Bergen (my home town) He's such a nice guy, we ended up talking about the 2nd album of his former band Span, pretty damn worth checking out, it's very different from this, but he is still on the vocal, and they also got some very tasty songs!
Liked his music from a year ago when discovered, but no idea he was such a bad ass axe-man/looper! Great vid! Thanks for the up bonnaroo, keep them coming!
This is just fantastic, I love someone who can use a loop pedal so wonderfully. If you like that technique check out an English guy called Paul Liddell he's wonderful too
Most underrated artist out there. Why is he not internationally known.
He is and was nominated for Grammys. What are u talking :D
Sir u 100 correct
Because he productions aren’t as raw as live gigs as these
Agreed. His albums need to be just like his performances. Raw and not overproduced. The only one man band I've ever seen that has the ability to produce a fully melodic well rounded sound (as opposed to just a few chords over and over.)
He is
2021 whos still here?! Bernhoft has been one of my favorites for a long time.. I wish he came to Canada to play
Here in 2023, everything about this is perfect
Seems like he’s heading to Canada soon! Seen him here in Norway a few times. Guy is a genius!
Just saw him in Vancouver a week or two ago. Hope you got a chance to see him at some point!
2024 and it still absolutely rocks 🤘🏾

Wow! Yeah, that line up sounds epic 👌
I love both of those😮 that sounds FANTASTIC 💖

Sorry for all the misspelling.It's because I used voice to text on a very dumb smartphone.

It’s honestly superhuman 🙈

My husband showed me this guy, and every song I hear is better than the last. It blows my mind that he is not a household name!!
Haven't been blown away by an artist in a long time. Just incredible.
I'll keep coming back to this. Can you imagine a collab with Bernhoft and Marc Rebillet? Unreal energy
I hear people describe him as "retro soul" all the time. I don't think that's fair to him. This is straight up soul. As contemporary and soulful as it comes.
I’m so proud You’re a Norwegian,honey! As a Music-lover You are some of the most amazing artists I ever heard.
He is the best looper in the world, that's for sure.
I'm stuck between this guy and FKJ, though what FKJ is run through Ableton so I guess this takes more talent?
@@adem_gun their both at the highest level of looping that I've heard. They just understand how to make it sound authentic
Clearly not
Gotta add Mike love, FKJ and dubfx to the list, different styles but all of them are masters on what they do
What about Ed Sheeran tho 😂
the one video i always come back to.
Still one of my all time favourite performances
Dont beleive i miss out in this. T A l E N T
Holy cow !! That is wicked. I just want more.
I guess that implies you haven’t gone through his discography. One of a kind artist with an immense load of wad blowing music, impossible to pin under 1 genre
Mind-blowing. One guy, a loop pedal, and a whole lot of soul.
Still a go-to song in 2021.
Even in 2023 mate !!
2024 and this song still BAAAAANGS - MAN what happened to good music. Seeing him live in Chicago back in like 2015 was legendary
Absolutely stunning performance. Exceptional composition and killer delivery.
oh man, thats maybe the 20nd time i watch this, that's so groovy, nice taste, special, incredible timing, Voice!!
Oh, 150k views, huh? Now we're going somewhere. Bernhoft is golden, man, just pure talent. Doesn't take a music genius to see his tremendous craftsmanship. I mean, what's with that control? Pure brilliance in his melodic choices and lyrics. Just go ahead and share already!
Does he ever make mistakes? Omg. He’s absolutely brilliant
Don't get me wrong, he's incredible and I love his music (and how insanely good he is live) but he does make a mistake at 1:17. When he turns off the loop pedal he waits just a little too long to turn it back on again.
Still awesome music and a crazy good performance tho!
I've watched this video over the last couple years, always rings true. Love his live work much better then the studio stuff.
I agree. His live work is just excellent. He's a beast using the loop pedal.
i know right he can beat my high score on flappy bird with his feet
How this hasn't got 30m views is mind blowing to me. Properly incredible and is my go to chune of choice.
Right there with you, Lee. People just don't know what they don't know!
Bernhoft is supercool with superfly soul.... love his stuff so much much much...
April 2021 im still coming back every week ever since this video was posted
The sound of that little guitar thingy caught me off guard… 😅
I can't neither speak! My God this singer is wonderful...in love😍
I love Bernhoft. He speaks with such a heavy accent, but then sings with such an authentic old-style, soulful, melodic phrasing.
Wow. Great groovy song, outstanding vocals, wonderful guitar licks/playing, and just an all-around nice piece of work.
After watching dozens of Bernhoft live videos, I'm convinced that his talent, soul, compositions, and more recent stage presence are all on par with Prince.
Listen to his old band span, i was lucky enough to play with them in 2005, super nice guys.
Really eager to listen to him in live concert ! Cet artiste est tout simplement génial !
I've been searching for his music for a while now, after a good friend had showed me when I was demonstrating Ableton. His talent is unreal; it really does take a special skill to be able to sync everything so well, as he does. Very glad to hear his music again.
Mon Dieu quel artiste !!!!!!! Une Tuerie ce gars !
it takes serious skill to properly layer loops on to each other in one take like this...!
Bernhoft the GOAT for this performance
God i'm so glad this exists
Me too!!!
These lyrics though. 🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹
Im fucking in love with your voice

68k views? Are you shitting me? It should be a million by yesterday! Bernhoft is a star, make no mistake about it.
This man is SICK!! Oh MY GOD!!! He deserves so much!! Keep rocking bro!
Fico abismado como um artista desse não é Megaconhecido! Sonzeira demais!!!!! Sou fã!
Helt unikt!

Sant
This guy is raw talent!

The bass tone is badass.
Perfect vibes, groove and tempo. This man is an orchestra !
Hell, this guy is unbelievable good! The best musician I've heard in the past years. Damn man, go ahead👌🏼
Best loops ever!!! I'm a big fan!!!!
This song is amazing. The guy is so freaking talented!!!
For real one of my favorite artists right now.
Love that bassline
+Simon Matthews What bass?
+Garett Harrington The bassline..... That he plays on that small guitar
I guess it's semantics. That's a G# guitar, so there isn't really any bass instrument in the song.
+Garett Harrington he uses an octave pedal, it has a bassline. I can see there's no bass, but there is definitely a bassline.
@@bequickx niles is being difficult. The bass line makes the song flow. Unbelievable bass line to sing and play at the same time.
Back again as alaways ❤
Bernhoft, a magician. As always.
Love this guy. His voice has lot in common with DeAngelo especially in thr lower range
Dopeness!!
its crazy how amazing this recording is his layers are panned so well his routing must be insane
Bernhoft! Soooo funky!!!!
Lotta damn talent there. Just a spectacular skillset.
The Signs of the times I know, will reveal themselves in beastly shapes........so true..... so true.
TOTALLY AWESOME!!! The song, the voice, the flow and drive, control..... absolutely A W E S O M E!! Love your work Jarle!!!
still love this song
Just... Genius!!!
Saw him last Tuesday at Fasching, Stockholm. That man has feeling enough for the whole world.
I love this. yes. yes. yes.
this guy is SERIOUS. WOOHOO!
SO dig it. Thanks, Melissa! Great find!
You're equally awesome Melissa ;). I've seen you perform in SD before, you're rad!
I love this guys music, just found him again after 3+ years
It is not possible for me to LOVE this toooo much!!😍
Love your talent and the personality as I see it .
This Dude's got it going On!!! Put a big smile on my face!!
Amazing all around. Great meaning on top of it all
It sounds like a party to my ears :-) thank you - it´s gorgeous ;-)
This will never EVER get old
Talent in its purest form :)
GOD I LOVE THIS!
Completely earth shattering music, you are one hell of a musician!!! Can't wait to see you again in Paris next month!
still one of my favorites
This guy's live is so off the scale that his recorded material feels like a let-down in comparison.
yeee, one of the best things i've ever seen live. probably top 2!
@@ThaMightyWon I agree. I never listen to his studio productions. They take away from the magic of his looping mastery. I love the guitar percussion, the muted strings, the clapping, the beatbox, the mouth harmonization and the raunchy real-time effects. It's his magic.
Sign of a true musician
Yes!!!!! J'adore ♥ Love his voice his flow. Simply Good music!
Powerful. Beautiful. Solid.
The talent that radiates out of this man!
Amazing
Amazing performance. Upbeat feeling yet masking and juxtaposing such a dark theme
This video changed my life I kid you not.
man, he has mastered that loop machine to a science...great artist!
grandissima Voce.........assolutamente FAN
Bernhoft is very talented and what a voice wow
a whole version like this would be beautiful
!!
THIS WILL HAVE A MILLION VIEWS IN NO TIME THEN FROM THERE - SKY'S THE LIMIT
Actually met him back in 2011 when he had a concert in Bergen (my home town)
He's such a nice guy, we ended up talking about the 2nd album of his former band Span, pretty damn worth checking out, it's very different from this, but he is still on the vocal, and they also got some very tasty songs!
What a beast.
I have no words to explain how amazingly astonishing this is😍😍😍
Edit: 2018 anyone?
this is mind blowing
New favorite artist. Handle.
This song is incredible
Как же он хорош, обожаю этот лайв! Нереальное чувство ритма и музыки🔥 Bernhoft гений!
Liked his music from a year ago when discovered, but no idea he was such a bad ass axe-man/looper! Great vid! Thanks for the up bonnaroo, keep them coming!
Mindf****ing abilities! Great job!
we don't want this song ever stop
This is just fantastic, I love someone who can use a loop pedal so wonderfully. If you like that technique check out an English guy called Paul Liddell he's wonderful too
Still a big fan and still amazed by this tiny G-sharp guitar !
