Anyone who has an appearance by Svavar Knùtur already been able to experience it, will remember for a long time. His performances have stirred an emotional roller coaster ride between to tears to tears with laughter, that captivate you and don't let go so quickly.
The Icelandic singer/songwriter and entertainer Svavar Knútur is a musician with countless facets. He does it with ease and exuberant sympathy, to enchant and captivate every audience from the first moment. He presents his songs in an incredibly touching way and tells the most absurd stories and jokes in between, seasoned with a good dose of dark Icelandic humor. Svavar likes to describe himself as a public health troubadour: „I think I might be the broccoli of Singer-Songwriters, not the sexiest of the vegetables, but still veeeery good for you!“That’s the Icelandic guy, what should be a perfect entertainer: a personality, one perceives as genuine and which goes simultaneously over one's life, without it seemed fake. Svavar Knútur represents the existence out as a normal person, However, throwing out a different light, provides other perspectives. He makes very little in the, what others want to create for their audiences on the really big stages. These big guys almost always fail, because it can't work at all, to give to normal people on a huge stage. Enchanted the other way around, you have to call it that, The audience sleeps late, like he was one of the greatest.
The pain of the long winters, as well as insomnia 24 Expressing hours of shining Icelandic summer sun, Svavar has blossomed into a cheerful and extraordinary musician in recent years. He describes it as “soft as cotton, Nordic, otherworldly folk music” (Rolling Stone) about the hard but not joyless life of the people on the rough Icelandic Westfjord. Brisbane's Rave magazine credited him with a "swoon-inducing voice" and highlighted the "wonderful simplicity and unfiltered emotion in his songs".
In the spring 2024 Ahoy appeared! Side B, mixed with songs sung in Icelandic and English, with which he completed his long-term project, Since there was a desire to rearrange some songs, it quickly became a double album on vinyl (such as 2 CD´s).
