Júníus Meyvant - Tour 2025

In the organizer's words:

Born and raised on the Westman Islands, musician Unnar Gísli Sigurmundsson has been releasing music under the name Júníus Meyvant for several years.
In his early twenties, Unnar came across a battered guitar in his parents' house and started messing around with it. By playing the guitar, he managed to tame his inner beast and his flair for songs and melodies shot up like a rocket. The uncontrollable urge to write music and the constant flow of ideas had him tossing and turning every night and every day - forever and ever.

Júníus Meyvant's haunted, concise, melodic and rich take on freaky folk-pop has a very intimate and soulful feel and a touch of attitude. Júníus' broad sound palette is all-encompassing and consists of his sultry voice, crackling guitars, pounding rhythms topped with horns, synths and mellotron. The thirty-year-old musician, who has been compared to Sam Cooke, Charles Bradley, the Rolling Stones and Devendra Banhart, already has several singles, an EP and an LP under his belt.

After successful tours in Europe and the USA (including appearances at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark and Bumbershoot in Seattle), Júníus released his debut album Floating Harmonies in 2016.
