Anna Roemer has a unique approach to her instrument. She is a guitarist who insists that the guitar is capable of far more than listeners might think. Together with her Jazzmaster and pedalboard, she breaks the boundaries of what a solo guitarist can do.
Highly Praised Solo Debut
Roemer has worked as a professional musician for many years before making her debut. However, it is only in recent years that she has deliberately pursued a solo career, refining and developing the ability to create imagery using only her guitar and pedalboard—tools that are central to her unique tonal language.
Emerging as a solo artist has been a process, and this is reflected in the vulnerability, care, and strength that characterize her album. Her debut album Azure is the result of believing in her own voice and recognizing that there is room to do things her own way. It has been a long journey to reach this point.

Emerging as a solo artist has been a process, and this is reflected in the vulnerability, care, and strength that characterize her album. Her debut album Azure is the result of believing in her own voice and recognizing that there is room to do things her own way. It has been a long journey to reach this point.
GAFFA described the album as a "virtuosic Danish debut album" and awarded it five stars in their review. The album was also selected as Album of the Week on P8Jazz. On Azure, listeners are introduced to Anna Roemer’s patience, strength, and vulnerability as a solo artist. Her focus is on creating soundscapes and sonic universes where listeners can witness her artistry firsthand.
Her works manage to encapsulate multiple emotions simultaneously. They are at once present and dreamy, gentle and assertive. In addition to this, Roemer embarked on an extensive tour in February 2023 and performed two major headlining shows at the Copenhagen Jazz Festival and Aarhus Jazz Festival in July 2023.
Veronika Rud is a singer and composer from Aarhus who has made a name for herself with her debut EP 'Mens Jeg Venter', which has attracted a lot of attention on P8 JAZZ. She invites listeners into an atmospheric musical universe where inner life is shared with honesty and presence. With great love for musical traditions, filled with elements from the modern Nordic jazz scene, R'n'b and folk music, she paves the way for the music's very own agenda.
In a univers where the soft and energetic expression merges and through curious improvisations and playful rhythms, one is reminded of the traditional jazz scene while new musical connections emerge. Veronika's music takes the listener on a journey, that will hopefully touch and connect people across different backgrounds and experiences!...
