210

Icelandic guitarist Omar Gudjonsson has admired the pedal steel guitar and the artistry of Daniel Lanois for decades. His fascination deepened when he heard Pete Drake's playing on George Harrison's All Things Must Pass. That moment sparked a decision: he had to own a pedal steel and explore its possibilities. After finding a style that felt authentic, Omar recorded his first pedal steel-focused album, Omar Fortioar, two years ago - a project where he even mimicked Icelandic opera singers. From there, his writing evolved, leading him to revisit childhood memories and create the compositions that became 210.
