Show Reviews

Ásgeir, a musical performer having exploded in popularity in his home country of Iceland, now on tour the U.S. with his brother and friends, stopped in Salt Lake City for his first visit in the mountain town. With musical guest and fellow Icelanders Low Roar.

These two similar yet also very distinct groups put on performances that are both low key and powerful experience with their wonderful musical talent.
