Ole Berthelsen – Singer-Songwriter

A life in music, a world in song.
With a career spanning more than four decades and an impressive discography of 24 albums, Ole Berthelsen has established himself as a distinct voice in the singer-songwriter tradition. Since his debut in 1979, he has explored the human condition with honesty, empathy, and a keen eye for the stories that connect us all.

Now, Ole returns with a powerful double-release that captures the spirit of our time: "Echoes of Dawn" and "Black Birds Finding Home".

Produced by the legendary Flemming Ostermann, these albums represent a journey from quiet reflections to global history. On Black Birds Finding Home, the musical foundation is exceptionally solid, featuring Henrik Askou on drums and percussion. Having played together for years in the Billy Cross Band, Ostermann and Askou bring a seasoned, tight-knit synergy to the recordings, rooting the songs in a rich, authentic folk-rock soundscape.

• Echoes of Dawn explores the fragility of new beginnings, moving from personal battles to the collective pain of modern conflict.

• Black Birds Finding Home is the answer to that search—a global travelogue exploring displacement, belonging, and the universal longing for a safe harbor.

This latest work is a testament to a lifelong partnership in music and a deep commitment to finding "the trace of destiny" in a changing world.
