The Owsley Stanley Foundation of Grateful Dead fame has just released ‘You’re Doin’ Fine,’ a sumptuous three-CD set capturing John Hammond at two 1973 concerts at the Boarding House, a small club in San Francisco. The sound man was Owsley Stanley who invented the Grateful Dead’s wall of sound technology.

“I didn’t know that Owsley was recording that show. I was told he was the sound man, but I didn’t understand the significance of it. I mean the sound is great.”

Jostein Forsberg, a musician and former steel worker born and raised in Notodden, has served as the festival’s director since 1990. In his conversation with American Blues Scene, Jostein explains how the festival became a mainstay of the local economy after the industrial jobs vanished.
