Anathema welcomes PETTER CARLSEN | 26-08-2010 |
Anathema welcomes PETTER CARLSEN as the opening support artiste on their European Tour.
From Alta, far up in Northern Norway, singer and music maker Petter Carlsen released his debut album “You Go Bird” in August 2009 which entered the charts at #14.
''Down to earth and melodic, Petter Carlsen delivers the best melancholic album of the year''
-Finnmark Dagblad
Beautifully atmospheric, his music has been identified by Anathema as something very special. Indeed, Danny Cavanagh states that ”once I heard Petter Carlsen's incredible voice and beautiful songwriting, as well as his warm personality, I always felt that he would be connected to and part of the inner circle of Anathema for a long time to come. Quite apart from being a great friend, he is one of the most talented musicians I have ever met in my life.”
Petter's reaction when we confirmed him on the tour clearly shows that the feeling is mutual:
“To be invited on this tour with Anathema is just fantastic. I’ve been a big fan for 16 years and all their albums from Eternity and on, have “moved in” to my CD-player. Their music is one of my greatest inspirations. It surely helped me get through some hard times as a teenager, trying to find my identity. Getting to know Danny and the whole band is such a motivation for me on all levels!”
Petter will be playing first on the bill on all shows between 24th September and 17th October. We all believe that he is a rising star and not to be missed. So, make sure you get to the show as doors first open - forget the pub on this occasion - come down and see for yourselves why we think Petter Carlsen will be a name you remember in the future.
