Icelandic troubadour and storyteller Svavar Knútur has dedicated his life to exploring the human condition through the lens of his country's dark and often tragic history and unique melodies and narrative style. Channeling the angst-ridden serenity of long dark winters and the insomnia of the 24-hour glaring summer sun, this eclectic musician has in recent years blossomed into a sublime singer and songwriter. His songs of misery and redemption deliver a healthy dose of hope in the midst of despair. A humoristic storyteller and avid diver into the murky waters of the human condition, Svavar Knútur sows and reaps a unique mixture of art and entertainment. In his concert in Gljúfrasteinn, Svavar Knútur will perform a mixture of his own compositions and songs composed to poems by Halldór Laxness.
