Christian Anttila

Pop in Swedish that hits the heart, poetically and present.
The artist Kristian Anttila celebrates 20 years as an artist. With over 1000 gigs under his belt, he challenges and expands the concert format, and travels the country with his fascinating life story. The wayward anniversary performance contains a naked narration of everything that took place both in the spotlight and behind the scenes; About success and failure. About dreams and breakdowns. About tours, from garages in Jokkmokk to baseball stadiums in Cuba. About where he is today, alone with a guitar on stage, and how it came to be. Everything is told with a warm and humorous tone but at the same time does not give way to the difficult questions in life.
