ABOUT GEORG GRUNDFJÖRÐ

Georg Grundfjörð is an Icelandic musician active in the Reykjavík blues community. Part of the tight-knit network of performers connected through the Reykjavík Blues Society and the city's active club scene, Grundfjörð contributes to keeping the blues alive in Iceland's capital. The Icelandic blues scene, though small, punches well above its weight. Since the founding of Blúskompaníið in 1967 by the late Magnús Eiríksson, blues has maintained a steady presence in Icelandic musical life. The Reykjavík Blues Society, established in 2003, and the annual Reykjavík Blues Festival continue to provide platforms for musicians like Grundfjörð to share their craft with audiences who appreciate the raw emotional power of the blues.
