Funky festival night with some serious bass .
Danish Ida Nielsen got her life turned upside down when Prince discovered her on the Internet in 2010 . Shortly after she joined his band and toured with him with The New Power Generation and later 3rdeyegirl until the iconic artist passed away last year .
For Ida Nielsen the time she got to work with Prince was ‘ the most magic and instructive journey ever ’ and something she has brought with her in her solo career . The bass player , composer , and singer has released three albums this far . The last one , TURNITUP , was released this autumn and is dedicated to Prince . The music may best

Ida Nielsen & band

be described as a mix of good old-fashioned funk , with a dash of hip hop , reggae , and world music – garnished with catchy tunes . And of course a lot of bass .
Ida Nielsen will also appear as a soloist at the first performance of Norwegian composer Rolf Wallin ’ s new work on the concert with London Sinfonietta in Håkonshallen 02 June ( p . 84 ).
At Logen it is all about Ida , her bass , and her band , and she promises us a funk show filled with energy , good vibes , and groove .
