The four singular artists behind the Bedroom Community record label take their music into the concert hall with The Whale Watching Tour.

Disparate musical backgrounds will coexist and collide as all the artists contribute to each other's music on stage. The set will flow undivided between Muhly's restless and beautiful modern compositions, Sigurdsson's precise acoustic-electronica, Frost's vast soundscapes and Amidon's haunting murder ballads.

To aid the creation of this remarkable amalgam of genres on The Whale Watching Tour will be a quartet of extraordinary musicians; Nadia Sirota (viola), Una Sveinbjarnardóttir (violin), Borgar Magnason (double-bass), Helgi Hrafn Jónsson (trombone and vocals), all of whom have all recorded and toured with the four headliners.
