Those who have experienced a performance by Svavar Knùtur will remember it for a long time. His shows are an emotional rollercoaster ride, ranging from moved to tears to laughing uncontrollably, captivating and holding onto you without letting go easily.

Icelandic singer/songwriter and entertainer Svavar Knútur is a musician with countless facets. With ease and overflowing charm, he manages to enchant and captivate any audience from the very first moment. He presents his songs in an incredibly moving way, interspersed with the most absurd stories and jokes, seasoned with a good dose of dark Icelandic humor. Svavar humorously refers to himself as a Public Health Troubadour: "I think I might be the broccoli of Singer-Songwriters, not the sexiest of the vegetables, but still veeeery good for you!"

The Icelander embodies the perfect entertainer: a personality that comes across as genuine and authentic, yet transcends beyond one's own life without seeming forced. Svavar Knútur highlights the essence of being a normal human being, shedding a different light on it and providing alternative perspectives. He achieves in the smallest of scales what others aspire to on the grandest stages for their audience. These big stars almost always fail in their attempts, as it is impossible to portray a normal person on a huge stage. Conversely, Svavar enchants his audience, one must call it that, as if he were one of the greatest.
Expressing the pain of long winters and the sleeplessness of the seemingly 24-hour Icelandic summer sun, over the years Svavar has evolved into a cheerful and extraordinary musician. With "fluffy, Nordic otherworldly folk music" (Rolling Stone), he tells of the harsh but not joyless lives of people in the rugged Icelandic Westfjord. Brisbane's Rave Magazine attributed to him an "unsettling voice" and emphasized the "wonderful simplicity and unfiltered emotions in his songs."

In Spring 2024, Ahoy! Side B will be released, featuring songs sung in Icelandic and English.
"A gentle, calming voice accompanied by ukulele or guitar, a fan base singing along to all songs, and lots of laughter. This is how we envision the perfect concert by a singer/songwriter." Tracks
"Rarely have I seen such a likable musician on stage before." Subtext.at
