Hvað is going on?

HI, here’s a bit of what’s going on in my life.

I’m currently in Iceland, in between tours, constantly working on new and exciting music. I’m working on two releases at the moment. One will be ready soon, I want to be able to have it with me at the shows I’m playing this fall. I want to think of this as an EP; although at the moment I’m counting up to eight new tracks. But still, this will not be a big release. More like something exclusive for the concert-goers. Should I make it available on iTunes? Please comment.

Parallel to this I’m working on a ‘bigger’ album.. whatever that means? Hopefully to be released early next year. Seems like a long time from now; however, that is not at all the case. I’m afraid the time will go by so fast. Too fast.

Touring will start soon. Over 50 shows before Christmas. I’m looking forward to the whole thing. Can’t wait to be back on stage every night. I will be joining Tina Dico on her tours in Europe, performing a set of my own as well as in her band.

Next week I’m going to New York to play some solo shows. Some of them are in the Cafeterias of schools like the Juilliard School; a part of “Iceland Airwaves Festival – On Tour”. They’ll even have an Icelandic Chef preparing delicious Ice-specialities. On September 9th I’m playing a show at the Rockwood Music Hall, at 10.45 PM. Tell all your friends in NYC.

I just made a “musicians page” on facebook. I’d appreciate it if you’d join me there. I shall not terrorize you. You find the link to the page on the right hand side.

The summer has been eventful. Some lovely festivals here and there. Good experiences in Iceland, finally a bit of vacation as well. Even went fishing. Hope I’ll see you all at upcoming shows, or somewhere else down the road. My best, *H
