Einar Vilberg was the first International artist to be added to the evor.com pages. After looking for a couple International artists over the course of a few months we picked Einar because he had a long history of music success dating back to the late 60's and early '70's and his musicial contributions over seas needed to be read about in the United States.

Einar became a wonderful addition to the website within weeks of his addition. Fans and friends have flocked to his pages to check for updates on when and if he will return to his earlier glory. He is currently playing guitar with his son-n-law who is fast becoming one of the top DJ's in Iceland so we can look for more Einar sightings soon.

Einar Vilberg started in the music business quit early, born in Reykjavik Iceland 1950. He started writing songs at the age of 14. Einars first appearance as a musician was as a singer in a school band called the "Beatnicks", (note the take off on the Beatles!!) In 1969 he flew to London England to cut his first record, (there where no recording studios in Iceland at that time) playing the role of songwriter and guitar player on a single called Insane world, an anti war project sung by one of Iceland’s most popular singer at that time.

Next year Einar provided songs and guitar playing on two more singles sung by prominent Icelandic artists. In 1972 after playing in different groups and doing some television shows Einar made the LP Gypsy Queen writing the lyrics and the songs. And as a follow up Einar and his friend Jonas went to Tokyo-Japan to participate in the Yamaha song festival and did record one of Einar’s song (with a Japanese song on the flip side) that was released only in Japan.

In 1976 Einar made the album Starlight in a brand new 8 track studio in Iceland. On Starlight Einar was accompanied by the cream of rock musicians in Iceland. Next year Einar moved to Copenhagen-Danmark and started playing with an Icelandic rock band based in Copenhagen and learning a little bit about real life in the process.

After 5 years playing and doing different kind of ordinary jobs Einar returned to Iceland and got some friends together and made a raw rock and roll album called Noise.

In the next years Einar proceeded writing songs while building a family. He remained out of the buisness while providing for his family, but still playing and writing at home. The last years Einar has been playing in small places in Reykjavik and around the countryside. Einar recently bought a Roland VS-840 and is recording and experimenting with the songs on his next album that hopefully will see the light of day.

Reviews

*   If you were a fan of the mid sixties era Beatles, Captain Beefheart, and the Moby Grape, you will love to listen to Einar Vilberg. The music is easy to follow, well organized and the tunes make you want to join in and sing along. Some of the artist today could really use a lesson in song construction from an artist of this Caliber. We are proud to have Einar Vilberg as a member of the organization.

*   Einar Vilberg's music displays his nice vocals, tasty guitar playing, and nifty arranging/ producing that allows him to effectively express his ideas in a decidedly pop music format. This is not just simple ear candy, but music that fits perfectly what he is singing about. This is extremely good stuff, and I'm glad I've heard it.... Lou Lasher

*   Vilberg's music is simply soft and "bluesy", but his life has been quite an exerience! From being influenced from various artists such as the Beatles, Chuck Berry, and Elvis, Vilberg has developed a swinging, jazzy style to his music, making it catchy and easy to follow! Vilberg certainly has a positive attitude towards music, making him very successful at what he and everyone loves, MUSIC!!!!

*   "Hey, finally some music I can relate to! This kid is good. Nice Blues and good guitar. This stuff makes me happy and I didn't have to take twice my medicatin to enjoy it I like it." "My only complaint, what kind of crazy name is Einar Vilberg?"
