Yuval Ron Trio (DE) 21:00
Guitarist and composer Yuval Ron performs original tunes that transcend the boundaries of any specific musical genre. Inspired by a crossover of modern jazz-rock, progressive music, cinematic and orchestral music genres, it is all well blended into an own fresh and distinct musical direction, best described as Cinematic Prog or Fusion. The music features virtuosic performances of various compelling and colorful compositions, produced on top of richly arranged orchestral, some say sci-fi film-like backgrounds, atmospheric soundscapes, and various sound effects, drawing the listener into a total, electrifying experience. The compositions place a constant emphasis on harmonic richness and rhythmical sophistication while maintaining a fine balance between intricately detailed group arrangements and the players’ expressions.
Somewhere in this Universe, Somebody Hits Drum is guitarist YUVAL RON’s newest album, released in Oct 2019 via their label, Wrong Notes Music. The crew, featuring MARCO MINNEMANN (drummer for The Aristocrats, Jordan Rudess, Tony Levin, Steven Wilson, and Joe Satriani, to name a few), is taking off on a mission to explore the vast musical universe, hence the album’s title and inspiration. The album, which was over three years in the making, features six beautiful and profound compositions placing a strong emphasis on big, orchestral, film music-like arrangements and production.
On top of those, the players make some virtuosic and passionate performances, soloing over the tunes while keeping their original intent. It leaves the listener fascinated throughout the extensive pieces, traveling through space with tunes like “Gravitational Lensing,” “The Discovery of Phoebe,” and “I Believe in Astronauts.” The album’s outstanding production got Yuval endorsements with leading instrument and audio makers such as Fractal Audio, iZotope, and ADAM Audio.

Gø (FO) 22:00
The band GØ was founded in 2015 by four young musicians who were tired of playing nicely and correctly. Today these are some of the most in-demand musicians in Faroe Islands, and they still stick to the same rebellious approach when they write and play music; everything is praise in GØ. While the poetic image created by GØ looks back to the 60’s and 70’s, the compositions carry traces of film noir, spaghetti western, jazz and rock.
Last year GØ played both in Faroe Islands and abroad. For example at the Reykjavík Jazz Festival where the band managed to impress the Icelandic crowd, in addition to getting good reviews from the big jazz press Jazzwise. This same performance will now be experienced in the Faroe Islands, at the same time as there will be an opportunity to acquire the brand new album – “Ævir, Amen”.
Ólavur Eyðunsson Gaard (guitar), Kristian Pauli Ellefsen (keys), Árni Jóhannesson, (bass), Jan Rúni Poulsen (drums), Sjúrður Zachariasson (saxophone) & Ernst Remmel (trumpet), Maria Wang Reinert (trombone), Kristina Thede Johansen (saxophone), Malan M Joensen (basoon).

Marius Samuelsen is a soloartist who recently released his debut album, Bear Street. As part of his upcoming winter/spring tour, Marius hopes to perform at OY with his band. His single "Dancing Lessons" is currently A-listed on Norway's biggest radio station, and earlier this year, the album's title track received airplay on Faroese radio. In 2024, Marius sold out a series of shows in Norway, showcasing his growing popularity.
Years ago, he spent time in the Faroe Islands collaborating with local artists Marius Ziska, Benjamin Petersson, and Allan Tausen, an experience he fondly recalls. Now, with Faroese musician Oddur Joensen joining his band, Marius feels it’s the perfect time to return and share his music with Faroese audiences once again.
