Treat your Valentine to a Green Room Series love story!

7000apart is the husband-and-wife duo of Amelie Eiding and Jon Kresin. Their story began when Amelie left her hometown of Stockholm, Sweden, to attend high school as an exchange student in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It was there where she met Jon and they fell in love. When she returned to Sweden, the couple started 7000apart as their creative project together named after the 7,000-kilometer distance between them. They spent three years like this before reuniting and getting married, and 7000apart became a serious artistic endeavor. They released their debut record We Are More in 2019, which now has 100,000+ streams and features on 1,300+ playlists on Spotify alone.

7000apart’s music transcends the relationship between Jon & Amelie. One of the cornerstones of their writing is mental health awareness, and their lyrics often touch on personal struggles and finding strength through dark times. They want to create music that resonates with others & helps them to feel a little less alone. The couple worked with Grammy-winning Nashville producer FEMKE on their latest single “Nothing to Worry About.” The song is their reminder to us all that no matter how hopeless the world seems right now, we can still find joy in whatever moment we’re in.

For our 20th Birthday Celebration Season, the Wilson Center is thrilled to be part of a “shop local” arts initiative with Wisconsin Music Ventures, as we work together to build community through music and music through community. Our inaugural “Green Room” concert series features a true sound sampling of artists from around Wisconsin and is designed to introduce audiences to artists from a wide range of locales around our state (and just a little beyond) and an eclectic array of genres—including jazz, pop, rock, country, folk, soul, classical, Celtic, and more. Unless otherwise noted, each Green Room Series concert will take place in our intimate, cabaret-style Dawes Studio Theater.
