Norwegian singer-songwriter Terje Gravdal delivers an infectious tribute to rural life with his latest country-folk single, “Apple Cider Country.” Marking the third release in his upcoming 2025 EP The Dreamer, the track departs from the somber tones of his previous single “Winds Will Cover,” offering instead a vibrant celebration of the apple cider farmers in Hardanger, on Norway’s rugged west coast.
Driven by spirited rhythms, traditional Harding fiddle melodies, and a rustic charm that feels at home in any countryside barn party, “Apple Cider Country” is a foot-stomping homage to resilience and community. Gravdal’s lyrics honor the beauty and grit of small-scale farming, painting a picture of people who carve a living from one of the world’s most breathtaking yet challenging landscapes.
Produced at The Norwegian Sound Studio by David Michelsen and Marius Bergseth, who also contribute instrumentally and vocally, the track strikes a delightful balance between authenticity and fun. It’s a track that pulses with local pride and tradition while remaining universally uplifting.
With his late-blooming musical journey and deep storytelling roots, Gravdal continues to establish himself as a voice of the Norwegian countryside, genuine, grounded, and full of heart.
