Allan Olsen
About
Allan Olsen (born 18 March 1956 in Grønholt, near Frederikshavn) is a Danish folk-rock singer-songwriter, guitarist and author. He signed his first record deal in 1989 and has built a catalogue ranging from rock-driven albums to the Irish-inflected Jern (1996), which earned him a Danish Music Award. His live shows are as celebrated for their dry, satirical storytelling between songs as for the music itself.
