Stefan Mork with band

2010-07-21 Pawel [The Artists, The Event Program]

simg_7034Danish songwriter is most known for his collaboration with
Lonnie Kjer in their duo-project Lonnie Kjer & .

With the release of their debut album 13 Songs, has Kjer & Mork already established themselves on the European music scene as an attractive and unique folk/pop duo.

Completely devoid of easy solutions and with the proverbial tongue firmly placed in the cheek, it stubbornly and proudly goes against mainstream and market shares to give a deeply honest example of how it sounds when music truly is taken seriously. There are no sneaky shortcuts – only the direct path to the honest essence of musicality and deep love and devotion of music. Burning real and melting hot.
