Allan Olsen

Allan Olsen (born March 18 1956 in Grønholt near Frederikshavn in Denmark) is a Danish folkrock musician and singer-songwriter. His notorious live performances combine his songs with satirical and dryly tempered anecdotes; the music delivered either acoustically or with a rock band. Growing up and enjoying the musical styles of the Who, the Rolling Stones and the Kinks etc., Olsen picked up a guitar himself in the seventies, and hit the road - initially as a low key performer and often in the outskirts of Denmark.
