The Soul of Christmas

Norrbotten Big Band is doing a Christmas tour with Sarah Dawn Finer, Samuel Ljungblahd and American David Michael Wyatt.
 

Gospel and Motown-scented soul combined with jazz and the occasional Christmas classic. It will be a magical atmosphere when the Norrbotten Big Band sets out on a cracking Christmas tour together with Sarah Dawn Finer, Samuel Ljungblahd and David Michael Wyatt.
 

Norrbotten Big Band is once again collaborating with soul and gospel star Samuel Ljungblahd on the tour The Soul of Christmas in December 2024. They have previously done several acclaimed tours together, most recently in 2021. This time they will also be joined by one of Sweden's most popular and featured singers – Sarah Dawn Finer. Also on the tour is the American soul artist with the big voice from Texas, David Michael Wyatt.
 

World-class music is on offer, with new songs, classic arrangements and a lot of Christmas atmosphere.
 

Joakim Milder, artistic director of Norrbotten Big Band, is already longing.
- I am very much looking forward to this, it will be a lot of fun. Especially when we get to meet such a large and expectant audience. It feels great to make music with Samuel again and Sarah is brilliant. In addition, it is exciting to bring David Michael Wyatt, it will be very successful, he says.
 

Sarah Dawn Finer and Samuel Ljungblahd did a similarly successful tour together last year. Now they look forward to being joined on stage by Norrbotten Big Band and David Michael Wyatt.
 

Sarah Dawn Finer is already longing:
- It is a great honor and joy to have the opportunity to go on The Soul of Christmas tour with Samuel again. And also to work with the incomparable Norrbotten Big Band for the first time. I can't wait to sing with them all.
 

Samuel Ljungbladh agrees:
- I am so incredibly happy and excited to once again have the chance to collaborate with the fantastic Norrbotten Big Band. To also be able to do it together with my talented friend and artist colleague Sarah Dawn Finer and also spice it up with the vocal virtuoso David from the USA is truly a dream come true. Can't wait to meet you all together with this luxurious line up!
 

David Michael Wyatt is also tagged:
- To say I'm excited is a huge understatement. Participating in The Soul of Christmas tour with amazing Sarah Dawn Finer, my friend Samuel Ljungblahd and the Norrbotten Big Band around beautiful Sweden just feels completely amazing! It will be a Swedish Christmas with lots of soul and a touch of velvet.
