Iceland

Reykjavík folk-soul, sub-Arctic Americana.

Iceland's folk and Americana exports — Ásgeir, Junius Meyvant, Of Monsters and Men — punch far above the country's population. The Iceland Folk & Americana Festival in Reykjavík is small but fiercely loyal.

Reykjavík's Harpa, Húrra and Iðnó host most of the visiting Americana traffic; Airwaves week (November) sweeps everything else.
