Leon Majcen (US) og Zandi Holup (US)

Leon Majcen and Zandi Holup at Lille Ole Bull 18 August

Leon Majcen is the son of Bosnian refugees, grew up in Florida and has roots deeply planted in the American folk and songwriting tradition. Inspired by storytellers such as Townes Van Zandt, John Prine, Bob Dylan and Guy Clark, he has since his record debut in 2020 established himself as a productive and personal voice within folk and americana.

With four albums in five years, as well as a number of singles and EPs, Majcen has built a strong repertoire that grows in both weight and expression with each release and each concert. His latest album, Making A Livin' (Not a Killin'), is inspired by a life on the road and is considered his most honest to date – filled with songs about travel, farewells, work and the people you meet along the way.

The music balances the intimate and acoustic with a larger and more dynamic soundscape, and live Leon Majcen is an engaging and present storyteller. Holup has broken through with her expressive, melancholic vocals and debut album Wildflower (2025).

When they visit Lille Ole Bull on Tuesday 18 August, everything is in place for an intimate and atmospheric concert experience in classic troubadour spirit. Two strong voices with clear personality and great ability to communicate.

This concert is part of the concert series Bergen Live Sessions.
