Saturday, August 26, at 12:30: Hyggejazz with Emil Otto And His NOLA Trio

This will be old-fashioned and authentic, with a twist of boundary-pushing young energy in this swinging concert with Emil Otto & his NOLA trio.

The rhythm section fires up the jazz cauldrons with second-line street beats, funky feels, and boils up a highly spicy gumbo.

Their lyrics also focus on the heavy topics that come with youth.

Saturday, August 26, at 19:00: Svea

The 22-year-old Swedish-Greek pop singer from Stockholm got her first record deal when she was 17.
