Description
English: On the photo one can see the grave of Kristian Øvrevollseie, on the cemetery of the Church of Hovet.

Kristian Øvrevollseie (1910-1973) was a Norwegian fiddler from Hovet (Hol) in Hallingdal. Spotify: play.spotify.com/artist/7xgakjoTVzIQcHxLRSUkcq

Kristian Øvrevollseie grew up in Hovet in Hol, and lived there all his life. In his youth he learned from Sevat Sataøen from Ål, Tor Grim Gard from Nes and Helleik Kvanne Berg from Hol.

Kristian Øvrevollseie was known as an expressive and terrifically good dance fiddler. In his youth rumors went around about his play, and it was said that he got table and chairs to dance. He had a tangled playing with many double stops, and he played in addition a lot of loose string. When he was in the right mood and energy, he played easily on all four strings simultaneously.

Kristian was an important inspiration for Odd Bakkerud and Magne Myhren. He had a top as a fiddler in the 1950s, but withdrew from fiddler life after 1960. He died in 1973.
