Maren Davidsen at The Hen and Chicken

About this event

Nordic Americana – acoustic instruments and vocal harmony – songs filled with human emotion, personal questioning and moving on. Maren Davidsen is a Norwegian singer-songwriter from the city of Stavanger situated on the misty west coast of Norway. Her music is a distinctly Scandinavian take on Americana coupled with the intimacy of great singer-songwriter storytelling. After spending her early twenties in London's party district Mayfair, she returned to Norway in 2023 and began writing the songs that would become her debut album, This Is Where I Leave You, which will be released on 14th October. Maren's music is rooted in personal storytelling, drawing on experiences of love, relationships, loss, life between countries and the contrast between her Norwegian roots and years spent abroad. Her songwriting has also been shaped by time spent in Nashville, where she developed a deeper connection to the Americana tradition that now sits at the centre of her sound. The album's very first single Tennessee On My Mind was praised by Canadian music critic Eric Alper as "a beautiful piece of Nordic americana, emotionally direct and sonically rich". Maren's music has since been embraced by other
