At 57 years old, Elvis Costello has surely mellowed out a bit since his big
glasses and bigger guitar chords broke onto the British pub scene in the ’70s. But
in his recent European shows, Costello has been getting back to his roots by put-
ting on a carnival-like “Spinning Songbook” tour that he first staged three decades
ago. Some of the shows on the tour have spanned three hours—a filibuster of music
that showcases Costello’s eclectic range from new wave to jazz.
Originally tapped to play Harpa last November, Costello had to reschedule his
visit due to his father’s illness. But a June show is perhaps more appropriate for
Costello’s sunny voice, which will highlight Harpa’s summer season with hits like
‘What’s So Funny ‘Bout Peace, Love and Understanding.’ CW
