From Estonia, Odd Hugo plays their mellow folkie tonight in Paardcafé.
Formed in summer 2012, Odd Hugo is a fresh Estonian act, already internationally acknowledged for its part mellow folkie, part heart-rending poet soundscapes and crowd hypnotic live emotion. For a fresh ear it would feel a bit like Andrew Bird, Jack White and Beirut blended together, but going deeper you’ll find some excellent tunes that people immediately fall in love! With their debut album “Odd… Hugo” released in spring of 2013, they have taken their voices, strings and brass across the Baltic states, Germany, Hungary, Finland, Sweden and played among others at Fusion Festival, Positivus, Art Goes Kapakka, Lost In Music Festival and Valoa Festival. ODD HUGO’s self-titled album was also nominated for best debut album of 2013 at the Estonian Music Awards 2014. In April the band went on a Germany-Netherlands tour where they played 9 shows including a main stage performance at Hidden Treasures Festival. in 17th of April Odd Hugo won the “Skype Go Cange The World Award 2014”- best act at Tallinn Music Week – chosen by international delegates!
