  • Bio

    - B. Barup, koncert listener: "Music is fantastic: When you can just drift away in your own thoughts because of the sound visuals being made... When you smile, because you can hear the singer's voice is smiling... When the voice is serious and you can hear it's important to listen to the lyrics, but don't need to use an extra effort, because the singer pronounces the words so clean and well-defined... When the singer is able to hold an audience between the songs... Thank you, it was outstanding!" ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Mette Lethan is born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark and has been a professional singer since she left school.... In 2005 she moved to Chicago and New York for half a year to further hone her songwriting craft. Following the path of her great-great-grandmother, Chicago was sort of final homecoming for her, and ever since 2005 Mette has traveled regularly between Copenhagen and Chicago to write, sing and live her two lives side-by-side..... Traveling between these two very different worlds, each with its own joys and sorrows, inspire Mette to view and describe life from constantly changing and nuanced perspectives. With an honest and inviting voice, Mette sings her songs with stories being turned and twisted thru new insights into human existence.... In spring 2009 Mette visited not only the Mid West, but this time also the amazing nature of Navajo and Hopi land in the American Southwest. Once again in the footsteps of her great-great-grandmother. 2010 and 2011 brought her back to Chicago and during spring 2012 she will be back in her beloved "other hometown".... Mettes travel experiences will serve as a continuing songwriting fodder for what will become her first solo album. ...(Please also see the link below leading to the profile of Mette's bands under the name Phoebe's)

    Mic-Club; an Open-Mic for the Emotionally Naked had had a series of incredible featured acts. Some are just beginning to get the feet wet and others are just enjoying the metaphorical beach. On a rare occasion, you have your Jacques Cousteaus exploring deep into the mysterious beauties of elegant life.

    Tonight we have oceanographer of sexy old school Jazz. Do yourselves a favor and Treat yourself to a rare performance that you will enjoy for the rest of your life. I can not stress how incredible this performance will be. In the music scene, either you are a poet or you are mathematical. The Kat is both and more. Come and enjoy what Mic-Club has to offer tonight. It’s been a terrible long hot week and I am going to take advantage of tonight’s fruits of events. Come and experience the Amazing Benjamin Aggerbaek ‘s quartet.
