Sondre Lerche Gig Contest

Sondre Lerche, il cantautore e chitarrista norvegese, farà due tappe in Italia nel prossimo weekend: sabato 1° ottobre sarà al Circolo degli Artisti di Roma, mentre domenica 2 Ottobre sarà al teatro Martinitt di Milano. Nonostante le origini algide e il nome complicato, la sua musica è un mix ben calibrato di romantiche ballad in acustico dall’attitudine neofolk e di brani più catchy, tirati e veloci. L’artista è sulle scene ormai da una decina di anni e ha all’attivo ben 7 dischi, di cui l’ultimo pubblicato lo scorso luglio e dal titolo omonimo.
