The Blue Church Summer Concert Series was founded in 1998 by Muff Worden, a musician and teacher from the USA. Muff died in the year 2006 and the series is helt in her honour.
Halldór Warén has been involved in music for a long time, directly and indirectly through the record company WarénMusic. He plays with the organ trio VAX, which has released several albums, and in 2008 he released the music box album Bíum Bíum 2008, as well as producing, recording, and playing on the record Kjuregej (Lævirkinn), which received, among other things, the Icelandic Music Award in 2013.
Halldór has mainly produced, or worked with other artists on their ideas, but this time he will perform exclusively with his own material. The music was composed over 20 years and features English lyrics. Halldór will be accompanied by the band Spottarnir, which was specially put together for this occasion. Bandmembers are as follows: Óttar Brjánn Eyþórsson, Axel “Flex” Arnarson, Nanna Imsland & Friðrik Jónsson, plus a secret guest.
A release is in the pipeline this year. Music that Halldór has worked on or been involved with can be found at www.warenmusic.com
