Performance | Bernhoft | TEDxSeattle
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Norwegian retro-soul singer/multi-instrumentalist Jarle Bernhoft has thrilled crowds around the world with his stripped-down yet amped-up one-man-band act. Largely on the strength of his looping-enhanced and awe-inspiring live show, Bernhoft racked up sales of over 250,000 copies of his sophomore album "Solidarity Breaks" and earned more than three million views for "C'Mon Talk" (a beatbox-infused, acoustic-guitar-laced single that Bernhoft performed during his September 2011 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show). Along with his looping wizardry, Bernhoft blends soulful vocals to offer a fresh take on pop music that's equal parts stylish and strikingly thoughtful.

Looks are deceiving. The first time you hear that soothing, gravelly, smooth ,concrete caramel flow outta this flannel- nerdish, Clark Kent Superman of blues- funk-soul ....it's 5 seconds of a reality check..followed by pure alignment
How he does it, it's amazing how talent abounds in this world
This was one of the best sessions that day. The vibe in the room was phenomenal.
6 years later still my favorite looper dude
honestly, this dude could be a hit if he was more well known. his skill and vocals are insane.
+Caleb Grace saw him live a week ago, just epic.
+Caleb Grace couldnt anyone be a hit if they were well known?
He sold 250k albums though
+Jeff Pesta I wish the ISM album was more known too
+Anti Mage It's fabulous, that's enough for me :)
He is guarantied the best artist Norway has ever had. He is amazing. :)
Stian Åkvik what about burzum? lol
+ThePoohat Edvard Grieg had some famous tunes as well? ;)
jtryland101
yes, Edvard is very famous. most people would have heard his music (at least the peer gynt suites) but many would not be able to attribute that music to his name.
I found this song many years back, and I’m so glad I found it again
I come back to this performance again and again, it brings bittersweet light to my heart!
watched him live at the troubadour a couple of days ago, BEST show ive ever seen, such a musical genius, musicality just oozes out of him, monster guitar player!!
So much soul...He's one in a million
Unreal.... what a gift!
I've never heard about this guy before. How's that possible? He's has a gift.
I just heard his song Falter on the voice Norway where he was a coach fell in love with the song. Love this one too
My band teacher showed me this last Friday and I can’t stop bopping
I´m so looking foward to seeing him in a week! I´m a huge fan of him and his talent is soooooo impressive! Greetings from Germany
This is absolutely amazing! This guy has true talent!
+Benjamin Venesia If you ever get the chance to see him live do yourself the favor. He's amazing.
Spirit of music and the rhyme moves the man.
Oh my days. This is amazing. I absolutely love what he's done here. So beautiful and talented. Blew my mind. Thank you
the best, i cant stop listening to you, respect from Slovenija
That should have been a single, as good as anything I've heard in the soul charts! Awesome!
Fly Away!
for performance basis, he got 100 up. because he knows how to perform well with presence of mind and using dynamics in every single bit. he has the skills, and i know that many people can do it. but he did it in a nice performance on stage.
Amazing, so talented! I find it very comical when people complain about him using loops LOL. How else can one person play all parts of a song. He then plays his guitar and sings while alternating different parts that are looping. Takes so much skill and passion to do what he's doing.
the timing of looping alone is a skill in itself. serious props to people who do it and still make it sound like a song (a good one lol)
This is my first time coming across looping, for a minute I thought he was performing the vocals while lip-syncing the rest
Where can I learn how to loop live on stage
Barnhoft , absoultly amasing gift to all of us ,he ranks with many others ,
BORN WITH THE MUSIC IN HIS SOUL.. A BIG STAR IN MY WORLD.. MR: E , SWEDEN
He's inspiring and I think we could all use some of that right now and write about now. A fresh approach=Excellent!
This is music from soulland . Beautiful voice
WOW, what an amazing one man band, green traveling and the groove always on his side.
Awesome, good Sir, Amazing vocals.
Wow what a voice, and such groovy guitar and bass lines. I'm blown away by the 2nd song :-)
This may be my favorite performance of him playing "Fly Away." I'm so mad I missed him at Bonnaroo in 2013!!
That was just freakin' amazing! He is one of my new faves!
You are a genious. You music is wonderful! Old man from Switzerland.
I have seldom seen & heard such a talented musician & a groovie music.
do it on - I wish you the very best .
Your technic is very worked out !
I love your deep voice .
Rainer from Bavaria ( south Germany )
Thank you UA-cam algorithm! Who's here during the shutdown 2020?
GRANDE CLASSE ! QUEL TALENTUEUX ARTISTE ! J'ADORE !
This guy's AWESOME!! So talented!!
Bernhoft just rocks!! Crazy talented. Gotta see this guy live... :)
In Norway, he played with a well known band (well known in that part of the world anyway) called SPAN. Then, apparently, a friend gave him a Sly and the Family Stone album and he fell in love with funk. So this is a labor of love for him, not a way to disengage from other musicians. Making music with other is definitely sacred and also fun, but ask any pianist (myself included) who spent hours practicing alone to perfect one piece. Solo music has its place as well.
Visiting again for the 50th time in 2023. He's just so good. Can someone post lyrics of his songs please xD
Amazing musician, incredibly talented and so cool...
First looper I've heard who actually adheres to some sort of sensible song form.
try beardyman?
There is no blueprint for music, nothing is wrong or right. And forcing everything within frames makes it boring.
Dub FX, check him out and you will be amazed
I think he means that most other loopers can't control the flow, and the looping just gets muddy and out of hand, whereas Bernhoft works his harmonies pretty well and is able to nicely fit different tracks together at different points in the songs.

Jarle Bernhoft was the opening act of the great Joe Cocker's tour in Germany. He is THE soul man of europe awesome! :) Saw him in the "KoePi" Arena of Oberhausen.

Im sat at my computer clapping dude, awesome harmonies.
blues alive..hope to hear more....
Oh my 😮
So beautiful performance 🤍🤍👌👌🥰🥰
Outstanding Soul, R & B and Fun TOO!
Jarle Jarle Jarle så insane flink du er!!!!
Great talent ! -glad he kept playing despite the recession :-) ...he could have chosen the oil business like many of his fellow Norwegians :-) hehe
He is just a music genius ❣️
Wonderful.....it's absolutely beautiful
His voice is my favorite. Norway all the way! :D
Ido not know how to coment that Guy!

Razerware146 to 0
well connected on all levels
Excellent Bern! I think I've seen it a million times! kkk Fly wayyyy \o/\o/\o/
Standing ovation after two songs. :)
Most of the biggest pop musicians have to play a 2-hour production with lights, fog, band, dancers to get a response like that. But I guess standing o's happen a lot at Ted Talks. .... but most Ted Talks are longer than 2 songs and a few sentences?
.....right??
Bernhoft is gonna get big this year! Just you watch!
Splendid performance!!
Adoro esse cara! Muito bom o som, técnica, ideia.... ;)
wow! just wow!
Friggin' awesome, I had no idea he was on TEDx. :'D
Awesome works! Masterpiece
Jeezz!!!! What a talent!!! Great stuff!!
This guy is good watch this
Great band! "4 black kids in a whitman suit"! Seen it! This guy lives on a 30ft Hans Christian at the bottom of a melting Norwegian Iceberg. What else would one do with anticipation of doom? Learn to tie knots? Love those BOSS loopers! That's the RC 50 he's playing. Everybody should have 2!
Kimbra have done something similiar now, too. But since I'm norwegian I heard him first - but he have seen some one else do it before him. And the technic-stuff can everybody who has money and interest buy and learn how too use. He has music in his body and soul, rhythm de luxe ... A capella, Tschuss ;-)
How is Bernhoft NOT more know ? ?? He is sooooo Good!!
Dude....... Damn........ Sweet!!
Really better on live than the recorded album !
Thanks for the lesson 😃🎶🎶
Wow!!!💯❤ thats a Masterpiece
SERIOUS talent! Oh man!
one word *RESPECT*
This guy embodies what I have wanted to do for years but just didn't know how about to go about doing it.
BEST TED GUY EVER!
Бернхофт лучший!!! ❤❤❤
I hate how unimpressed the crowd is. He should play The Apollo.
wow ....love it !!!!
1st song: ever since i was a little kid
2nd song: fly away
Good God that was brilliant!
I can't decide if I love or hate this dude. On one hand he's amazing at music, he looks super cool and funny and he's really good looking. On the other hand, I'm none of those things.
Awesome playing and singing wow.
Are you serious!!!Jeepers you are amazing, fricken amazing!!!!
Spread this talent all over the wold
Best Feeling earth ,no doubt.
Great job ! Thank you sir !
This guys is a genius..
yes he got 2 or 3 albums under benrhoft or Jarle Bernoft! He is great I have seen him 4-5 time playing...amazing :)
his talent is so ridiculous how come ive never heard of him
He was a coach on the voice Norway that’s where I just saw him. Someone was doing his song Falter for blind auditions and fell in love with the song so now listening to more from him
Such talent!
wish I had a record lable , I would sign him ......now .
different makes him awesome.
Truly amazing.
Great Tunes man

It's an incredible Loop One Man Band....
He is simply incredible, My first and last choice of a guitarist, Listen from 5:35 if you look for more excitement, Fly away !!
REAL music
wow.... awesome!!!!!
3:30 when that bass comes in. BAM, guys gots some pipes
The ups and downs in his voice are excellent. I like the fly away song better.

Musicians like this deserve massive success and worldwide respect, not 'artists' like Justin Bieber or One direction.
