JĀNIS NIEDRA | Album Presentation at Pegaza Pagalms

After a warmly received concert at Pegaza Pagalms in the summer of 2025, Jānis Niedra returns to Liepāja with a new program, new songs, and a special energy that once again filled our cultural venue.

Singer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter Jānis Niedra is heading this autumn on a concert tour presenting his new album “New Friends Come Easier When We Forget About the Old Ones.” One of the tour stops will also be at Pegaza Viesistaba.

Jānis’ musical inspiration comes from a blend of classical music with elements of contemporary pop and rock music. The concert will feature new compositions as well as audience favorites, including “Your, Your Fingers Slip Through My, My Hair,” which stayed in the Muzikālā Banka TOP 15 for more than 10 weeks, and “You, You,” which has repeatedly appeared in the LaIPA Latvian Radio TOP 10 list of most-played songs.

Jānis Niedra’s voice will be joined by a backing band, and in Pegaza Viesistaba his lyrical and introspective storytelling will take on a special sound.

Jānis received a higher education in music in the United Kingdom, where he studied songwriting in depth at the music institute BIMM Bristol. He has written songs for several well-known Latvian artists, including Aija Andrejeva, Elizabete Gaile, Elza Rozentāle, and others.

This time we will hear Jānis Niedra at Pegaza Viesistaba. A new program, new songs, and stories that sound best live.
