PORT TOWNSEND — Northwind Arts Center will host Port Townsend-based singer-songwriter Simon Lynge at 7 tonight.

Tickets are $15 each from simonnorthwind.brownpapertickets.com or at the door at the arts center at 701 Water St.

Lynge’s music has “a way of captivating one’s soul, at once melodic and beautiful, yet powerful in its presence and boldness,” organizers said in a press release.

“His lyrics are poetic and speak candidly from personal experience, sometimes of inner darknesses and existential challenges.”

Recently honored with a nomination from the 16th annual Independent Music Awards for his last record, he also just released his fourth album, “Deep Snow,” recorded in a cottage in Wales and in Narcissus Studios in London.

Lynge grew up in both Denmark and Greenland, where his father is an acclaimed accordion player, and his grandfather was a composer and conductor and namesake of a church choir in Qaqortoq, which still exists.

His music brought him to Copenhagen first, then to the U.K. and the U.S.

His last album, “The Map of Your Life,” was recently nominated in the 2018 Independent Music Awards in New York.

He has had several song placements on U.S. network television and film, appeared on BBC Breakfast TV, performed at the Glastonbury Festival and toured with Emmylou Harris. When he’s not wielding his instrument he can often be found on a soccer pitch, much like his idol, Bob Marley.
