Mezzoforte

Their success was a complete surprise at the time. In 1983, when the song Garden Party went round the world, the four boys from Iceland had just come of age. Since then, MEZZOFORTE has been considered Europe’s most important fusion band. In 2012, the band celebrates its 35th anniversary and is still sparking all over the place. In 2006, the three founding members Eythor Gunnarsson, Johann Asmundsson and Gulli Briem expanded the band with the trumpet player Sebastian Studnitzky and in 2013 with the Swedish saxophonist Jonas Wall. In 2014 the founding member Fridrik Karlsson rejoined the band! This mixture of band history and fresh blood created new energy that has only grown in innumerable club and festival acts between Oslo and Tokyo, Cape Town and Moscow.
