ATTENTION CITIZENS OF AKUREYRI: Icelandic singer-songwriter, part-time beard enthusiast (and full-time dreamboat) Júníus Meyvant (AKA Unnar Gísli Sigurmundsson, of the Westman Islands) is coming your way. His songs showcase that patented Júníus sensitivity we’ve come to love, and his musical and vocal arrangements are as colourful and pleasant as they are complex. But don’t feel left out, Reykjavíkings (Reykjavíkites? Reykjavikers?)—Júníus will be back in the city for Iceland Airwaves. If you can’t make it up north, you’ll still have a chance to catch that Meyvant-Magic come November. 😀

Júníus performs tonight at Græni Hatturinn at 21:00. For more information, refer to our listings page here.
