Asaf Avidan is coming to perform his solo show in Slovenia! After international solo and band success that includes Platinum and Gold certified sales, sold out shows worldwide, headlining some of the biggest and most prestigious festivals, Asaf Avidan is back on stage, alone with his guitar doing what he does best – digging deep inside himself and creating moments of pure emotions, delivered to the audience by his unique voice. Labyrinth Solo Tour is an open invitation to peek into the maze of Asaf’s world, as he cries, whispers and screams new interpretations of songs from his entire repertoire.
The New York Times’s Jon Pareles described him as a special hybrid, “An artist that writes like Leonard Cohen, sings like Robert Plant, and has the charisma of a cabaret performer.” A late music bloomer, Asaf Avidan picked up a guitar at the age of 26 and after the release of mini album Now That You’re Leaving received attention and acclaim, and he began performing across Israel with a guitar and harmonica and his armour piercing voice and lyrics. His collaboration with backing musicians, nicknamed the Mojos, and three studio albums (The Reckoning, Poor Boy- Lucky Man, Through The Gale) brought Asaf’s music to wider crowds.
True to his artistic vision and needs, Asaf decided to pursue his own solo path and try to find new ways to write and explore his emotions without the confinement of genre. The results have been seen and heard in two albums: Different Pulses, an intimately texted, yet bravely produced self-dissecting introspective album, that explored new horizons and mixed different styles of music, all held together by Avidan’s words and vocals. Asaf, almost shunning away from commercial success of Reckoning Song‘s remix , then followed with another personal album, going back to the theme that started him off in music, another breakup. Gold Shadow was a sad lament on what appeared to be a fatalistic one way path from love into pain and combined jazz and cabaret together with blues and pop.
