ENTHEOS ; IN GOD VIA CREATIVITY
ENTHEOS ; IN GOD VIA CREATIVITY
INGA ENTHEOS is an original music project based out of Duluth, MN.
Front woman, Inga Weis, has crafted the current repertoire over the last four years. With a Nordic inspired blend of rock and folk, Inga Entheos seeks to steward a fun-loving and heart-felt musical landscape that is open to all ages.
During live performances, you may see Inga include visual arts such as painting or dance, while the rest of the band continues to jam. Her background in contemporary movement embraces the integration of artistic mediums. The lyrics often speak of divine and unifying concepts. This hones in on the Greek meaning of Entheos: in God, via creativity.
Inga Entheos is here to uplift with its cathartic musical language and to encourage creativity among witnesses and performers alike.
