This summer, I’ll be performing a concert series in three small churches in the northern Westfjords of Iceland.
The series begins at Holtskirkja in Önundarfjörður. It was in this very fjord that I wrote my first album, Sykurbað, about eight years ago.
The setup will be simple: voice, viola, and guitar. I look forward to seeing you at the foot of the white sands.
