A warm welcome to a magical evening in our new banquet hall, Ögonblicket.
This Christmas Eve, we are honored to welcome Jay Smith for an intimate sunset concert on a midsummer evening. Choose between purchasing only a concert ticket, a ticket including a concert dinner at Strandbaren, or an overnight package with meals and a concert ticket.
The event:
Americana and country-inspired Jay Smith will make his debut in Melodifestivalen in 2024 with the song "Back To My Roots," written together with his sister Maria Jane Smith & Victor Thell (from Smith & Thell), Jonathan Keys, and Jonas Jurström.
"Melodifestivalen is very exciting. But to be honest, it's about 94% fun and 6% desperation," says Jay with a laugh.
After winning Idol in 2010, he released his debut album "Jay Smith" and received widespread coverage, not only in Sweden but also internationally, especially after the well-known American entertainment personality Perez Hilton praised his version of Madonna's "Like a Prayer." He has continued to release music, including the gold-certified single "God Damn You." In 2019, he released his latest album, "Young Guns," which clearly draws on his passion for American country music.
By 2024, Jay's musical style had evolved into a mix of core country with elements of pop, where storytelling takes center stage.
