House of Songs Scandinavian Summer Showcase at Momo’s
On a microscopic level, the world comes to Austin thanks to various musical campaigns from Dart Music International, KUT, South by Southwest and the House of Songs. Tuesday, the last of these presented its Scandinavian Summer Showcase at Momo’s with Danish artists Strawberry Blonde and Anna Rosenkilde.
Erin Ivey and Brian H. Conway
Music industry insiders populated the early hours of the line-up, which included Austin artists such as Erin Ivey, Troy Campbell and David Garza. House of Songs pairs locals with visitors to write new material, but also to perform in Austin venues. (I caught a wild Irish-tinged House of Songs party during SXSW at the Gingerman.)
Aimee Bobruk and Nathan Felix
Gracious Nathan Felix invited me to this particular showcase, blessed by singer/songwriter Rosenkilde’s shadowy, ethereal voice and Ivey’s slow, sweet allurements.
Anja Følleslev and Betina Følleslev
My unanswered question: Will KUT’s World Music Night move to the Cactus Cafe from Momo’s now that the radio station has taken over management there?

Hi in Austin and hi to the editor of the Statesman.
Very cool to sit in Denmark learning that one of our favourite couples Strawberry Blonde is around with their very talented songs and performance.
Wish I could be at Momo's right now.
Love from here, Erik
