Her Voice: one moment hauntingly melancholic and poetically fragile, the next, powerful and energetic but always crystal-clear. Her Sound: a mix of dreamy, folky, jazzy, indie pop, full of soul and magic and a little bit of mystery, just like the singer herself – this is Siri Svegler, the Swedish Singer-Songwriter who’s first two albums “Silent Viewer” and “Lost & Found” received glowing reviews and gained a lot of international recognition and awards, including the VW Soundfoundation award for best newcomer POP, hand-picked by legendary SEAL and Best Album at the German Rock/Pop Awards (Deutsche Rock Pop Preis).
Her songs have been extensively used for films, commercials and TV and Siri writes and collaborates with a great variety of international artists and DJ’s like Moonbootica, Johnwaynes, Lorenzo Al Dino and Shahrokh Dini and MasterCris to name a few. Remixes of her songs can be found on many compilations.
 
 With the most recent single “No Need To Define” a new chapter has begun and Siri sets the tone of what’s to come: her third album “Awake” ­– planned for release in September 2019. 
  “Awake” contains thirteen of her own, new, original songs and it’s her first album that is not named after a song on the album, but is more of a feeling, a reflection on an ongoing spiritual and emotional journey. A journey very eager to be expressed through melodies and words.
“No Need To Define” was the first single and it explores feelings of acceptance and the freedom that comes from letting go of expectations. It’s about being in the now, without needing to define the present moment. 
“Feels like falling” is a gentle pop ballad, we navigate through a spectrum of emotions, especially vulnerability and excitement, but it’s also about trust and again: letting go.

Anneke van Giersbergen is a Dutch singer-songwriter, known for her serene yet powerful voice, musical versatility, and captivating stage presence.

Her new album will be titled La Vie, La Mort, L’Amour - French for ‘Life, Death, Love’. This collection of songs will be released as a trilogy. The first EP, La Vie, will be available digitally on February 28.

Anneke comments: “I wrote these songs shortly after the passing of both of my parents and I brought my 8-piece live band into the studio to record them. Last year, I was confronted with some of life’s biggest questions and the doubt that came with my loss. These songs reflect my emotions and thoughts during that challenging time. Musically, I was inspired by the sounds of the '80s and '90s, the music that shaped my youth.”

In 2026, the three EPs will come together to form a full-length album. The release of the third EP will coincide with a physical version containing all the songs, available as a CD Digipak and Gatefold LP.

After thirteen years as the frontwoman for melancholic metallers The Gathering, Anneke ventured out on her own in 2007. Since then, her creativity has known no bounds. She quickly established a successful solo career, while also collaborating frequently with Canadian metal genius Devin Townsend and Ayreon mastermind Arjen Lucassen. Additionally, Anneke has lent her voice to a diverse range of artists, including Napalm Death, Icelandic folk group Árstíðir, Amorphis, and prog legend John Wetton.

In 2019, the Dutch music copyright organization Buma Cultuur honored Anneke with the Buma ROCKS! Export Award, recognizing her as one of the most prominent Dutch artists abroad in heavy music.

The Darkest Skies Are The Brightest, Anneke's 23rd career album, was released in 2021. This deeply personal record captivated her fans once again.

The five reunion concerts that she will perform in August 2025 with her former band, The Gathering, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the classic album Mandylion, sold out within minutes.

Formerly known as Middle Earth, Ligaia  is a variation of indie pop and bossa, heartfelt originals and beautifully interpreted covers. Cool tunes flavored with a hint of Scandinavian melancholy, a sense of humor, a soft tropic breeze, and sizzling hotness! The band Middle Earth was born in the Philippines when the three musicians from different parts of the globe: Isa (Philippines), Siri (Sweden) and Thomas (Germany), discovered their musical chemistry during the Summer Peace Festival 2013, while on tour in Asia. This chemistry is something that can certainly be seen and felt on stage. The band is currently based in Berlin.



Ein wunderschöner Mix aus Ost, West und aus dem Herzen: Middle Earth! Eine Variation von Indie Pop, Jazz, Bossa und vieles mehr. Eigenkompositionen mit einer Spur skandinavischer Melancholie, gespickt mit Humor, einer tropischen Prise und knisternder Spannung!

“Middle Earth” wurde auf den Philippienen geboren, als 3 Musiker von verschiedenen Teilen der Erde, Isa (Philippienen), Siri (Schweden), Thomas (Deutschland) ihre gemeinsame musikalische Chemie entdeckten während sie in Asien tourten.
Diese Chemie ist etwas, das man bei ihren Auftritten hören, sehen und auch fühlen kann. Zusammen mit Ihren Freunden Martin und Jens, eine der besten Rhythmus-Section der Berliner Szene, haben sie die 
ideale Besetzung für Ihre Musik gefunden.

Isa Tabasuares – Gesang, Gitarre
Siri Svegler – Gesang, Perkussion
Thomas Walter – Gitarre
Martin Rose – Gesang, Bass
Jens Baumann – Schlagzeug
