  • In 2024 Andreas Røysum Ensemble started working with the legendary Chicago-based poet, singer and renaissance man Marvin Tate. Now it´s finally time for the world to start enjoying the fruits of this meeting of visionaries.

    Dig in, and experience these new-found collaborators bring out the best in each other, as if they´ve always been close.

    Let Marvin Tate´s richly evocative and multi-layered poetry take your emotional-associative apparatus for a spin.

    Witness an already notoriously powerful ensemble reach new plateaus of expression, meaning and purpose.

    Marvin Tate has been a driving force in Chicago culture since the mid-eighties. Initially making a name for himself as the slam champion of the city, the nineties saw him leading the musical groups Uptighty (with Leroy Bach of Wilco, and Dan Bitney of Tortoise) and D-settlement.

    “"By merging ferociously honest poetry with various black musical traditions, Tate stands as heir to Chicagoan Oscar Brown Jr., the veteran urban griot whose lyrics long have decried racism and social injustice."- The Chicago Tribune

    Andreas Røysum gathered his best friends and favorite musicians to found his dream ensemble in 2018. Three full length albums and a hundred concerts later, Røysum Ensemble have established themselves on the forefront of creative music, serving their notoriously spicy gumbo of jazz, folk, soul and contemporary music influences to more and more enthusiastic listeners.
