The warm season is over, but we keep playing and doing exciting stuff!
Summer was full of great concerts, going from south to north and west, visiting festivals and clubs. Last month’s Norway visit was a total success, and soon Simone and the band go back to visit Smeltedigelen Festival, among the mountains and fjords…
There are also tour dates in Malmö and Copenhagen coming up in October.

 

Another piece of exciting news is that Simone and Os Lourinhos will play live in the movie about Swedish pop icon Håkan Hellström! Shhh!! More info will come about this secret project – stay tuned…

 

And anyone who missed it – Simone and a 13-piece band had the great honour of performing for Paul Simon as he received the Polar Music Prize on the 28:th of August in Stockholm. Well…actually they played with Mr Simon, as he jumped up on stage during “Late In the Evening”. Magical!
