Artist History When Geir Engen heard Apache and Kon-Tiki with the Shadows, Sultans of Swing and Tunnel of Love with Dire Straits, early in the 80's, he decided to become a guitar-player. A red Fender Stratocaster was on top of the list of wishes. After that, he tried to start a band. And a Fender and a band he got. The band was called Destiny. In 1990 he started a band in Levanger, Montana, and they played together for 5 years. Afterwards he played duos and trios and in different bands. The band Timeless was started in 1998. It began as a boysclub. They met for social activities, coffee drinking and practice. After a while, songs were picked out and the band took form. Timeless and quality were the headwords for this band. Since summer of 1999, the band has done a lot of gigs. From Molde in the south of Norway, to Rørvik in the North. Every day since the mid 90's Geir has written his own music. And in the fall 2001 he decided to record his first "real" CD.
