Ragnar Ólafsson (ISL) & Glorious Leader (USA)

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 three solo albums are written while travelling. On stage Ragnar turns into a storyteller and shares the stories behind the songs.

Alongside his solo work, Ragnar composes for film and television,

including the Paramount+ series Little Disasters starring Diane Kruger.

His latest book, Definitely Maybe, explains how all Nordic nations can have so many musicians compared to their small populations, and during the show Ragnar will share some highlights from his book, between songs.

Glorious Leader is the solo project of American songwriter and multiinstrumentalist 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. During the show the audience can expect heartwrenching songs, mixed with few good laughs!
