Svavar Knutur (Island)

In the organizer's words:

"Ahoy! Side B" record release tour 2024

Anyone who has experienced a performance by Svavar Knùtur will remember it for a long time to come. His performances are an emotional rollercoaster ride between being moved to tears and crying with laughter, captivating you and not letting go so quickly.

With ease and exuberant sympathy, he manages to enchant and captivate every audience from the very first moment. Svavar likes to describe himself as a public health troubadour: "I think I might be the broccoli of singer-songwriters, not the sexiest of the vegetables, but still veeeery good for you!"

The Icelander is what a perfect entertainer should be: a personality that is perceived as genuine and at the same time goes beyond his own life without seeming artificial. He does on a very small scale what others would like to do for their audiences on the really big stages. On the other hand, Svavar enchants his audience as if he were one of the greatest.
Expressing the pain of the long winters and the sleeplessness of the 24-hour Icelandic summer sun, Svavar has blossomed into a cheerful and extraordinary musician in recent years. With "Icelandic and English" (Rolling Stone) he tells of the hard but not joyless life of the people on the rough Icelandic Westfjord. Brisbane's Rave magazine credited him with a "swoon-inducing voice" and highlighted the "wonderful simplicity and unfiltered emotion in his songs". Ahoy! Side B , mixed with songs sung in Icelandic and English, will be released in spring 2024.
