Cell7's Ragna Kjartansdóttir at The Grand

Fri., Sept. 30, The Grand – lobby

Talented Icelandic rapper Ragna Kjartansdóttir and her bandmates in Cell7 are beaming when they arrive at the somewhat improvised stage in the lobby of the Grand Theatre Friday night. Her drummer and DJ are both all smiles having bagged serious Calgary Flames swag to take back home. Drummer Magnus Trygvason Eliassen is feeling especially dope, sporting a full flame-trimmed, Flames windbreaker that will no doubt cop Eliassen a few admiring stares on the streets of Reykjavik, the folks of their volcano-ringed island knowing a thing or two about flaming stuff. It’s an upbeat affirmative set packed with call-and-response and positive messaging from Kjartansdóttir.
