Icelandic musical treasure Högni will be bringing his beautiful talents to three Polish cities this year, Poznań being one of them. In 2008, he and his indie rock band were crowned the "best debut artist" and "best singer-songwriter" titles at the 2008 Icelandic Music Awards—which are basically the Icelandic version of the Grammys. In 2009, their second album won the "album of the year" title. To call Högni a musical prodigy would be to do the years he spent honing his craft a disservice—after mastering the violin in his younger years, he taught himself to play on the guitar and then moved on to the piano, focusing on harmonies and improvisations in jazz and also training his voice in years of choir practice—all this before the age of 21. In other words, go see him.
Venue: Scena na Piętrze, Masztalarska 8.
