I’ve blogged before, over at the old place, about my fondness for Teitur, the adorable Faroese singer-songwriter. Well, tonight I rented a car and drove down to Wilmington, Delaware, to see him perform at the Grand Opera House—which, by the way, isn’t all that grand or operatic. It also wasn’t nearly full enough tonight. That’s a shame because Teitur has an amazing, strong voice; he’s pretty darn charismatic, too.
Tonight, Teitur mostly did songs from The Singer, his cool new concept album, a collection of “story songs.” If you’re new to Teitur, his earlier albums may be a more natural starting point. I think you’ll be drawn into whatever he’s singing, though.
This YouTube video is for one of his earlier songs, “Sleeping with the Lights On,” which he did tonight from the piano.
