The poetry oasis: Frida Ånnevik

 

In 2016 and 2017, she released the sister albums "Her Bor" and "Flyge fra" which both garnered good reviews and which both won Spellemann in the category, 'Show of the Year'. Several singles in which Frida has dressed the songs in a new guise with her Norwegian lyrics will be released towards the summer, and in September her forthcoming album, 'Andre sanger', will be released.

 

Other songs, is a record project that has been created over several years. It's a cover album with songs from a wide range of artists and songwriters:

 

 

Ånnevik brings guitarist Haldor Røyne and pianist Andreas Stensland Løwe with him during this year's performance. A trio that will surely give you goosebumps with their new rewritten songs, as well as beautiful versions of songs from previous releases.  

 

Ånnevik will play during this year's edition of 'Poesioasen', which takes place among Kongsberg's most unique arenas. Christians Kjeller is located in a conservation-worthy and traditional block of flats on the West side. Here you will find the restaurant Opsahlgården with a gastropub and, as mentioned, the music cellar Christian's keller. The concerts during the jazz festival will continue to be traditionally held in the pleasant backyard.

"Frida Ånnevik is one of our finest artists in the borderland of pop/music/jazz and it will be great to see her during this year's festival - guess it will be tight for space in Kongsberg's nicest backyard" says marketing manager, Julie Vold Bjørkamo
