Sivert Høyem

Sivert Høyem achieved great success in his former band Madrugada, with their debut album 'Industrial Silence' making a significant breakthrough in their home-country of Norway. However, after the sad death of bandmate Robert Buras, they decided to disband following one final tour. however, Sivert has gone to achieve great success as a solo artist, releasing the three albums 'Ladies and Gentleman at the Opposition (2004), 'Moon Landing' (2009) and 'Long Slow Distance' (2011).
His solo music could be described as rock-driven balladry, with a powerful, sombre tone. His voice is strong and dynamic, carrying his emotive lyrics straight to the listener's soul. Performing live, he certainly has energy and passion to give character to his songs, with a stage presence and authority that he has developed through years of experience. His music has that bluesy tone similar to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, although with more Scandinavian seriousness in its sound. He has developed an avid following over the years, with the crowd always receptive to his performance. Seeing him play at Oslo S was a riotous affair that certainly saw this Norwegian crooner gain the love of the audience. His songs also move to delicate, tender tales of heartbreak, keeping his act dynamically interesting. But he is at his best when guitars are being strum loud and his voice is booming in his rugged baritone. A vocal talent that should not be missed.

Summer 2014... We were waiting for Sivert Hoyem's concert at Akti Dhmaion, Patras. Unfortunatelly the concert was cancelled for some reason, but we informed that the producers of the concert could transport us to Athens, to see this concert for free. We arranged to go to Athens. I can say (for me and my friends) that it was one of the best concerts i've ever seen. Great roadtrip! Great concert stage, Stage Volume 1! GREAT SIVERT HOYEM!!!! It's very difficult to think what exactly was so great, because everything was wonderfull. Oh I think there's something that will make other fans check them out live, the feelings that we got at concerts like this were supreme!
Thank you!

Watching a Sivert's show is always an experience. That was actually my 5th or 6th show, and I must admit that he is the ONE AND ONLY. A lot of energy, a lot of vibes and a perfect show! Every year Sivert offers a better and better show! I could watch him singing every day ! I wish he will return soon !
