Tag Archives: Black CatLast night, the Black Cat‘s backstage was sold out for Icelandic singer-songwriter Ásgeir‘s first show in DC. He played a ton of tunes from his debut album In the Silence, plus a new song in Icelandic called “Nú Hann Blæs” and his cover of Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box”. His full set list is below; we also took tons of video of the songs he played last night. For more ShowlistDC concert videos and photos, subscribe to my YouTube channel or follow me on Instagram.
