SVAVAR KNÚTUR (Iceland)Svavar Knútur, Icelandic song-poet and raconteur, returns to Australia following his 2024 Woodfordia Festival of Small Halls Tour where he also performed at Port Fairy Folk Festival and the National Folk Festival.
Svavar is a master storyteller and self-professed public health troubadour whose hauntingly beautiful folk-infused songs explore grief, hope and redemption. Drawing inspiration from Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell, and other masters of the troubadour art, his emotive vocals weave humour into tales of the northern wilds. With his recent double album Ahoy! he continues a 15-year musical odyssey through the storm ridden way of waves of the human heart.
Expect an intimate live experience: songs of darkness and light delivered with heartfelt wit, as Svavar Knútur never lets his audience sink into darkness without humorous stories and anecdotes to lighten up the moment. —“a night with Svavar will bring you to hell and back… smiling and laughing all the way,” as Australian musician Pete Uhlenbruch puts it. Catch this Nordic troubadour on tour — prepare for a night of raw emotion, laughter and unforgettable storytelling.
