On September 20th on the ETM roof terrace Lukas Norkūnas performed: “I am Lukas Norkūnas from Vilnius. I started playing guitar, singing and writing songs in my teens.
I studied philosophy with the motive of finding a pot of gold of meaning for my songwriting and aspired to be a traveling musician.
I played in the streets and places in Vilnius, traveled around various Lithuanian cities and towns playing alone and with groups, visited TV and elsewhere.
I have released two albums of my own songs in which I played all instruments.
In my songs, I strive to balance the emotional load, meaningfulness of words and musical ingenuity.”

“Sun Francisco” are creators of a different, more alternative pop music, combining different moods, genres (from nostalgic synthpop to experimental flamenco) and languages (Lithuanian, English and Spanish) in their songs.
Giedrė is responsible for the vocal lines and lyrics of the works – the laureate of many singing competitions, the second place winner of the first season of Lithuanian “Voice”. The band’s songs are arranged and produced by Maksas, who surprises himself and Giedrė almost every time with new, unexpected harmonies.
In July, “Sun Francisco’s” mini-album “123” was released, which was recorded after the artists temporarily settled in the south of Spain. In this Spanish-Lithuanian (or Lithuanian-Spanish) work, the duo interprets the musical styles of reggaeton, flamenco and tango in their own way, while the Lithuanian lyrics talk about the constant comparison imposed by social media, addiction to the spotlight and burnout.
On the roof terrace of the Energy and Technology Museum, songs from the album, previously released works already liked by listeners, and songs that have never been heard anywhere were be played.
