International Dance Day 29th of April: Andy Wright

Dans i Nord welcomes Andy Wright to Sweden!

In Swedish

During the Coronapandemic lock-down in London ( the period 2020-2022) Andy Wright together with Ryan Molloy created the album Where Missouri Breaks.

The Piteå and Norrbotten audiences will, in connection with Ryan Molloy’s guest performance in Sweden during International Dance Day (link in Swedish), be the first in the world to hear some of the songs.

The songs in Where Missouri Breaks are inspired by the place where the Mississippi and Missouri rivers meet and how fate can bring people together and influence their destinies and lifes, which we ourselves could not foresee.
