Sublime Americana with nerve and outstanding harmonies from new super duo

  • Sunday 29 June

Bringing together seasoned and brilliant musical forces, Bye Bye Brenda has already been proclaimed "a new power duo in Danish music" by Danish newspaper Politiken.

When you listen to the masterful harmonies and powerful songs that former Alphabeat lead singer Stine Bramsen and acclaimed Americana musician Kajsa Vala create together, there is no doubt that this is a duo of high musical class.

Bye Bye Brenda released their excellent debut album Landmarks in early 2025, which is already shaping up to be one of the great Danish releases of the year. Danish magazine Gaffa praised the album, calling it sublime, while also labelling Bramsen and Vala a perfect match. The reviewer particularly emphasised the warm and organic vocal harmonies, which reminded him of acts like Simon & Garfunkel.

The hand-played presence is the focus of the duo, who draw on a strong tradition of Americana and country, but also more alternative artists like Kacey Musgraves and Phoebe Bridgers. Kajsa Vala's warm roots feel and Stine Bramsen's familiar melodic sense beautifully lift the songs, and the stage is set for a powerful live experience when the masterful collaboration visits Roskilde Festival this summer.
