Hawkraftens Venner & Spillestedet Thy invite you to the Country Blues Festival.<\/p>\n
A unique opportunity to experience this new artist on the Danish music scene.<\/p>\n
With songs like \u201cDen Sidste Vinterdag,\u201d \u201cKridthuset,\u201d \u201cSt\u00e6reblind,\u201d and \u201cMellem dig og mig,\u201d Ninna Andreasen has, for the past 15 years, moved audiences to tears \u2014 sometimes from laughter, other times from tenderness.<\/p>\n
The West Jutland singer-songwriter’s back catalogue is made to be played for audiences who appreciate catchy folk tunes and a fresh perspective on songwriting.
\nClich\u00e9s slide off Ninna Andreasen\u2019s songs like water off a nano-coated jacket.
\nThe classic love songs? She leaves those to someone else.<\/p>\n
Instead of focusing on the 7\u20139% of life that\u2019s about romantic relationships, Ninna turns her attention to the other 91\u201393%:
\nThe child molester in her childhood town, the rage toward the tax fraudsters behind the dividend scandal, the complicated relationship between a son and his alcoholic mother, or the dream of one day becoming the village fool everyone gossips about.
\nHer storytelling \u2014 both in and between songs \u2014 draws from quirky and unconventional perspectives on life and the people living it.
\nOften with a healthy dose of social indignation.<\/p>\n
Her background as a journalist and her interest in human destinies, the deceptive, the seductive, the deluded \u2014 and at times the downright ridiculous \u2014 is unmistakable.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d rather write a song about quitting smoking and the pathetic contortions that come with it than a traditional love song. At their core, all my songs are about love, longing, sorrow, life, and death. But the criterion for whether they make it to the stage or onto an album is that they must offer a new perspective \u2014 one that no one else would\u2019ve come up with. Sometimes, that also means the songs bite back a little,\u201d says Ninna Andreasen.<\/p>\n
That the songwriter has a knack for both skewering (and hugging) the world around her becomes most evident live. As Bands of Tomorrow wrote in a review:
\n“To me, Ninna Andreasen was somewhat reminiscent of a female Allan Olsen \u2014 a great storyteller and, at times, cheeky as hell.”<\/p>\n
As a young soloist, she cut her musical teeth performing at bars in Esbjerg.
\nIt toughened her up and gave her a sharp tongue \u2014 useful when calming down a rowdy crowd.
\nSince then, Ninna Andreasen has played across most of the country \u2014 from the westernmost point at the Fan\u00f8 Vesterland festival to opening for Allan Olsen in S\u00e6by up north and Johnny Madsen in Varde \u2014 with plenty of big and small stages in between.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6380,"template":"","class_list":["post-6442","begivenhede_post","type-begivenhede_post","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
