Anna Ternheim

In the organizer's words:

Emotional melodies with Nordic elegance:
Stockholm-born singer-songwriter ANNA TERNHEIM draws on elements of jazz, folk and blues in her music. Melancholic, soulful and with clear, warm vocals, the artist expresses her songs and sketches dream worlds that are sometimes reminiscent of Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits. The singer, who is known far beyond Sweden's borders, always focuses on the songwriting itself, creating and composing her own lyrics.

"Comedians fascinate me. Before they bring a new program to the big stage, they try it out and themselves. In front of real people. In small clubs they tweak, fail, magic or other unforeseen things happen. That's part of the process. Refining, revising and starting everything all over again. It reminds me of my beginnings, long before the release of my first album. I was performing and playing songs that nobody knew and realizing what worked and what didn't. That's how my first album came about, with songs that I had been playing for years and only recorded afterwards. Every subsequent album was created the other way around.

With the PREMONITIONS tour, I'm going back to the time when there was no net or double bottom. What I don't have are 10 highly polished and produced songs that I perform. I'm coming with something unfinished, I'm on my way and on a journey that I want to take the audience on. I invite them to an evening that will perhaps be a little unexpected or strange but also magical, in any case it will be a beginning. A beginning that I want to start together with real people.

And yes, of course one or two all-time favorites should not be missing on such a special evening."
