Boho Dancer

Boho Dancer is a danish trio from Copenhagen and made up of Ida Wenøe (Lead vocals & guitar), Símun Mohr (bass, guitar, backing vocals) and Asker Bjørk (drums, guitalele, backing vocals).


Boho Dancer formed in Aarhus, Denmark in 2009 around the singer and songwriter Ida Wenøe. While starting out as a quartet, the band really started flourishing when it was reduced to a trio in early 2011. They won the unsigned bands prize, hosted by Danish National Public Radio, in may 2011. Their debut EP "Furry Skin" was released in 2012.



This EP is composed by an eclectic mix of music accompagnied by Ida Wenøe's magical and captivating voice. The sound of Boho Dancer's music is really unique. I think that's probably why I like danish artists more and more. Whoever the danish artist you listen to, their is always something different and surprizing in their music.

Boho Dancer has worked on their debut full-length album set for release in April 2013. The first single of this upcoming album is "Fictional Reasons".

This new EP include 4 pop songs infused with soul and blues. I've been listening to this EP for a week now, and it's the kind of EP of which we don't get tired to listen to over and over again. There is something mesmerizing and relaxing in "Leave It All Behind" with  pureness and emotion in Jessica's beatuiful voice, mostly accompanied by the melody of her piano. These 4 catchy and haunting songs tell stories to which all listeners can relate.

Artists news n°16 : Anna Johnson, Annie Drury, Holly Drummond, Jc Villafan & Patrick Joseph

Anna Johnson has posted the 12th song of her "Living Room Sessions". This song is "Getting Over You" from her "Winding Road" album. Anna wrote few words about the story of that song ""Getting Over You" is a song I wrote when I had a crush on David (my husband), but didn't know if he liked me back ; ). HA! We had been friends quite awhile, and he's very quiet and subdued, so I couldn't tell what he thought. It's an ironic song now, as we're married and have a little one on the way, but it's still a lot of fun to perform."


Annie Drury played a few songs for the Ont'Sofa Gibson Sessions. The first song of this series, "We are The Lucky Ones" is already online.




Holly Drummond has covered a new song, "Youth" by Daugther.




Jc Villafan is still on tour in England and will come in France soon. Check out the dates below :
