It is through courage and action that change can happen. What is important to you? This is a powerful and inspiring concert performance that encourages you to find your personal expression and to dare to make your voice heard. We follow two of Sweden's most prominent female blues artists today in their musical journey from self-doubt to success.
With poise and heart, Eva-Mi and Elin invite young people to a personal story in the sign of the blues that dares to ask the big questions - what happens if we doubt our will to make a difference for ourselves and for others? What happens if we doubt democracy? We get to meet some of the female pioneers in music history who, through their music, inspired courage and willpower. Even small actions can make a big difference.

With only two musicians on stage, this skilled duo maneuvers the impressive set of vocals, harmonica, electric guitar, sample pad and drums (with their feet!). They offer power and joy of playing through heavy dirty riffs, blues-scented harmonica and powerful rock-like singing. The music consists of both examples from blues history and self-written music. Incendiary speeches, playful improvisation and powerful lyrics are interspersed with personal stories about failing self-confidence and how one can start to dare to believe in oneself.
