Stina Stjern goes autoerotic at Overgaden

I played å small set at Overgaden yesterday. Overgaden has for more than two decades been among the leading non-profit exhibition spaces for contemporary art in Copenhagen. My small performance and a seminar called Beautiful Objects in Photography was connected to an exhibition called "LYST" (Lust). Both Sara Katrine Thiesen and Paul Sepuya spoke about why photography is the medium most often used to reflect on subjects like gender, identity and body. They both gave a very inspiring lecture about this matter and their own work. Last chance to see "LYST" is this weekend!

Here is a small sample of my performance:

Live in Twin Peaks

We've been playing Råttistock, Skage and Rollaugsbistro, Namsos. Both shows went well, but especially the last one was very much like playing live in Twin Peaks ( just without the red velvet). Feel very much ready for øya and Pstereo. Here are some pics:

My Stina Stjern Summer

I'm now in a small Norwegian town called Moi. Here I'm working with young musicians and improvised music for a big show today. Anita will arrive later tonight, and we'll start preparing for the duo show here on Saturday. Since we've done both Stina Stjern songs and Bladed songs as a duo, we thought: "Why don't we mix both acts?". And so we will!

So, these are the Stina Stjern shows this summer. You and all of your friends are so very welcome:

Stjern

I had a wonderful weekend with good old friend at my family's summerhouse at Kiran, a few hours drive outside of Trondheim. On our way we saw this sign. I guess it's where the family name originally comes from!

Gamla Klubb Øya

I'll be playing at Klubb Øya this year. The gig takes place at Gamla, Oslo Tuesday August 11th. Klubb Øya is arranged as a part of my favorite Norwegian festival Øya. Both Ola and Kyrre will join me on this one. We'd love to see you there!

Me, Bladed, and Dog & Sky

Here are some pics from my dirty guitar playing with Anita/Bladed. The gig was great and I really liked the new guitarist thing. We played three songs as a duo and two songs with the awesome Trondheim band Dog & Sky. Check them out here.

These pics are taken by my favorite paparazzi friend, Jannike Kaasbøll. She's the guitarist in one of my bands, Supervixen!

Oslo Airport

I'm hanging out at Oslo Airport Gardermoen. I'm on my way to Trondheim. I'll be playing some dirty guitars with Anita Kaasbøll. We're going to do Bladed songs as a duo, because the Bladed guys have something else to do this time. I'm very excited. this is the first time I've been hired as a guitarist! We'll perform at Rosendal, May 16th.
