ÁSGEIR

Icelandic singer-songwriter Ásgeir brings his contemplative folk-pop to the Birchmere Music Hall on June 28, 2026. Known for his atmospheric melodies and deeply personal lyrics, Ásgeir’s debut album *Dýrð í dauðaþögn* became the best-selling debut in Icelandic history, later released in English as *In The Silence* (2014). He has since released *Afterglow* (2017), *Bury The Moon* (2020), and *Time On My Hands* (2022), earning international acclaim from outlets such as The Independent, MOJO, NME, The Line Of Best Fit, Clash Magazine, BBC 6 Music, and Radio X. Recently, he has focused on intimate solo performances—nearly seventy shows across Europe, the Nordics, and Iceland—including a UK tour with GDRN, a performance with the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra, and a live session for Arte TV in Berlin. He also wrote a song for the play *Sýslumaður Dauðans* at Reykjavik City Theatre. Currently preparing his next album, Ásgeir is prioritizing melody and personal storytelling, exploring themes of relationships, aging, hope, and nostalgia, with influences ranging from Leonard Cohen and Daniel Lanois to Adrianne Lenker and Dina Ögon.
