Two singer-songwriters meet for an evening where song and storytelling take centre stage. Erik Grip brings a "Poesiens Aften" of Danish visor and musical interpretations of poetry by writers such as Frank Jæger, Grundtvig and Emil Aarestrup, moving through reflection, longing and lyrics, hymns and folk music. His career began in 1963 with inspiration from the American folk revival, and he has been a major figure in Danish visekunst since his professional debut at Smøgens Visevershus in Tivoli in 1966.
Morten Christensen brings his organic singer-songwriter universe with catchy melodies and personal songs that linger, sung with intensity and presence. Where Grip gives the poets' words musical life, Christensen lets his own stories come forward. The evening also includes sing-along moments and tales of highwaymen.
