CIA
CIA is a Norwegian blues/r&b band, formed in 1989. The band members paid their dues criss-crossing Norway with various blues related acts before joining forces in CIA. Since the beginning the band has toured extensively in Norway, building up an audience. CIA released their first album "Ah Yeah" in October 1993. This was also RR's first record.
The band usually records original songs, mainly composed by Berdon Kirksaether and Jonny Aasgaard. CIA has performed all across Norway, including concerts at northern Europe's biggest blues festival, Notodden Blues Festival.
