Presents
Astrid Williamson
Join us as the Strand welcomes Scottish born Astrid Williamson. Here Come The Vikings (2009), Astrid's newest release has been called "exotic, intelligent, and accessible" by The Philadelphia Daily News, and represents a more aggressive sound for this sonically shape-shifting Shetland Islands native. "Every album I've made has tended to fall outside of current musical trends," says Astrid Williamson. "The negative side of that is that you tend to be a little out of step with whatever's fashionable or popular at the time. But the positive side is that you end up with music that doesn't sound dated and isn't tied to a particular time. My albums have an eclectic mixture of song styles, but what holds them all together is a desire for lyrical honesty and a genuine love of songwriting. If a song doesn't make me howl when I'm writing it, I'm not interested."
