About the artists:

Glorious Leader is the solo project of American songwriter and multi- instrumentalist Kyle Woolard.�For 16 years he’s been touring internationally in four contintnets, both as a solo performer and as a member of the group The Anatomy of Frank. As a solo artist Kyle has collaborated and toured with Icelandic acts such as Svavar Knútur, Myrra Rós and Árstíðir.

The music of Glourious Leader toggles between wood-stove intimacy and dancefloor urgency, layering fingerpicked guitar with synths, orchestration, and drum machines. It's electronic but warm, melancholic but restless — electro-folk with fangs.

Ragnar Ólafsson is an Icelandic singer-songwriter, composer and author based in Reykjavík. Known internationally as a member of Árstíðir, Ragnar’s solo project reveals a more intimate side: a poet with a guitar, turning journeys into songs.

Each of his solo albums is written while travelling in places he has never been before, transforming new landscapes into deeply personal “sonic road movies.” His album m.i.s.s. was composed along the Mississippi River, while his latest release, Mexico, emerged from a road trip across the country. On stage, he shares the stories behind the songs, inviting audiences into the moments and encounters that shaped them.

Alongside his solo work, Ragnar composes for film and television, including the Paramount+ series Little Disastersstarring Diane Kruger. His concerts combine Nordic atmosphere, storytelling and quiet intensity.
