Anne Marie Almedal

In the arcadian fields of pastoral folk-pop, there is a rare nightingale nestling in the trees, singing her song…Anne Marie Almedal. The velvet-voiced Norwegian artist whose words, music and presence astounds many. Ever since fronting the art-pop indie heroes Velvet Belly throughout the 90's, ice-cool electronica adventures in AM and the UV, numerous recordings, live performances, film & TV themes, special guest appearances, and right up to her recent emergence as acoustic folk-pop chanteuse extraordinaire…it´s been a long, but worthwhile journey.
