Vaeder's Story

Vaeder are a music and spoken word collaboration between Roy Niente (music) and Norman Niente (lyrics and vocals).

Their collaboration began back in the early 1990’s but it was put into cryogenic hibernation for more than 30 years.

Now thawed out and reinvigorated their unique blend of music, sonics, and spoken word has been unleashed once more.

The name Vaeder (Väder) stems from the Swedish word for “weather”. Like the weather Vaeder’s eclectic mix of work can swing anywhere from a sunny Summer’s afternoon to a stormy Winter maelstrom.

The forecast for the next Vaeder journey is to expect an experience!
