Spoonful of Blues are a Norwegian blues band from Notodden, a small industrial town in Telemark with deep blues roots. They have released six albums on Bluestown Records, drawing on the raw, hypnotic grooves of Mississippi hill country blues fused with hard rock. Their 2023 album Songs From Notodden Norway was nominated for the Spellemann Award and earned strong reviews internationally. Following the death of guitarist Morten Omlid in late 2023, the band rebuilt with two new guitarists and has since expanded its touring schedule across Europe and beyond.
Spoonful of Blues released the single 'Fine As Wine' in 2026 and performed at Sierre Blues Festival in Switzerland the same year.
The band performed at Notodden Blues Festival in August 2026 under both 'Spoonful of Blues Family Revival' and as Spoonful of Blues.
The band released the single 'Young Man' in 2025 and announced a new single for early summer the same year.
With the new lineup - guitarists Jens Fjelle and Øystein Ytterbø - Spoonful of Blues played at Notodden Blues Festival 2024 for sold-out houses.
Guitarist Morten Omlid died in November 2023, shortly after the release of the album Songs From Notodden Norway, and the band's launch tour was cancelled.
