There appeared to have been two Anton Pettersens on Longoya, maybe even on the same farm. Ed's great-grandfather, Anton Pettersen, apparently lived on a farm on Longoya (Long Island) in the Sortland region of Norway, inside the Arctic Circle. Going to Halden provided him a chance to find out more-once he was in Norway, Down on the Farm put together a contest with a playful title: "Help Ed find his Norwegian roots." People appeared with genealogies in hand and a cousin even showed up at the festival. His grandfather and even his father didn't speak about Ed's Norwegian heritage.

Growing up in a Long Island family with two distinct lineages-his mother's side Italian, his father's Norwegian-Ed had wondered about his father's origins, which were far more mysterious. Invited to perform at the prestigious Down on the Farm festival-a long-running showcase for the best of alternative-country and Americana acts held in Halden, Norway-Ed traveled there in 2008 with more than just music on his mind. The story of how Pettersen ended up piercing the veil of the family mystery of where his grandfather came from is told in the book that accompanies the CD. The limited edition hardbound book is a collector’s item printed on art paper with stunning colored illustrations and an inspired layout by Norwegian designer Runar Drønen. Kvitnes, taking an interest in the whole project, assisted Pettersen with securing paintings from important Norwegian artists to create a beautiful art book as liner notes for the new record. There are several outstanding co-writes on the album as Pettersen pairs up with pop star Freedy Johnston to deliver the gorgeous ballad “Harbor Road”, and then with award winning Norwegian songwriter Henning Kvitnes for “I Curse the River of Time”, the title track of the album. In “Siste Reis” Pettersen combines the American genre of murder ballads with the story of a young Norwegian girl who trusts in the wrong stranger. The song “Psalm at Journey's End” draws on the Erik Fosnes Hansen's book of the same title to pull in a character from the band on the Titanic (the band went down playing). Pettersen is an established Nashville based singer/songwriter and producer and the achingly beautiful music of his new release has its roots in contemporary Folk and Americana, with a stellar Nashville backing band and Norwegian guest musicians. In 2009, Droge's song "Two of the Lucky Ones" was featured in the film Zombieland.Ed Pettersen's release I Curse the River of Time: A Norwegian American Tale represents a wonderful blend of Norwegian American culture, drawing heavily on Norwegian literature for inspiration as well as his own observations of small town life in Norway. In 2006, Droge released Under the Waves and a song from that album, "Going Whichever Way the Wind Blows", was featured in a Toyota Sequoia commercial. In 2003, Droge formed the supergroup The Thorns with artists Matthew Sweet and Shawn Mullins and, that same year, released another solo album, Skywatching. According to director Cameron Crowe on the Director's Cut Commentary of the movie, the small part was a tribute to Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris, whom he met in 1973. In 2000, Droge appeared in the film Almost Famous as a "Hyatt Singer", performing "Small Time Blues" with Elaine Summers.
