Ásgeir Trausti
Ásgeir Trausti ætla að koma við á Græna Hattinum í sumar og spila ásamt hljómsveit nýtt og gamalt efni. Ásgeir gaf út plötuna Julia 13. febrúar sem hefur fengið frábærar viðtökur úti um allan heim.
Julia, er einlægasta verk Ásgeirs til þessa en í fyrsta sinn samdi hann textana alfarið sjálfur. Útkoman er eitt hans persónulegasta verk með skugga titil persónunnar sem leiðarstef.
Það eru að verða liðin nærri fimmtán ár síðan Ásgeir Trausti steig fyrst fram á sjónarsviðið og hefur hann síðan verið í fremstu röð íslenskra tónlistarmanna. Frumraun hans, Dýrð í dauðaþögn (2012), sló í gegn, seldist í yfir 40.000 eintökum og sat í um 400 vikur á Tónlistanum. Platan er í dag ein af söluhæstu plötum Íslandssögunnar. Síðan þá hefur Ásgeir byggt upp sterkan alþjóðlegan feril og haldið tónleika víða um heim.

Ásgeir in Mengi
As one of Iceland’s most successful exports, singer-songwriter Ásgeir has always pushed the boundaries of his thoughtful brand of folk-pop. His debut album, ‘Dýrð í dauðaþögn’, became the best-selling debut in Icelandic history, leading to the English-language version ‘In The Silence’ in 2014.
He continued to refine his sound with ‘Afterglow’ in 2017, ‘Bury The Moon’ in 2020, and ‘Time On My Hands’ in 2022’, earning praise from press and radio worldwide, including the likes of The Independent, MOJO, NME, The Line Of Best Fit, Clash Magazine, BBC 6 Music and Radio X. In recent years, Ásgeir has embraced solo performances, playing nearly 70 intimate shows across Europe, the Nordics, and Iceland, including a UK tour with Icelandic singer GDRN.
He also performed with the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra and recorded a live session for Arte TV in Berlin.
His passion for live music has taken him to unique venues, including small churches, deepening his connection with audiences.
He wrote a song for a Kafkaesque play that was hosted at The Reykjavik City Theatre called Sýslumaður Dauðans.
Ásgeir is now back with his next album, focusing on songwriting with a fresh approach; prioritizing melody and personal storytelling, exploring themes of relationships, aging, hope, and nostalgia.
His influences range from Leonard Cohen and Daniel Lanois to contemporary artists like Adrianne Lenker and Dina Ögon.
