After spending 16 years as the singer/guitarist in the Icelandic group Sigur Rós, Jon Thor Birgisson renamed himself Jónsi and began a solo career. Shortly after the release of his debut solo album Go, Jónsi began a world-wide tour that lasted the rest of the year. The album sold a fair amount of copies and his profile was boosted by the appearance of a newly recorded track, “Sticks and Stones,” for the soundtrack of the hit children’s movie How to Train Your Dragon. In November of 2010, Jónsi released Go Live, a CD/DVD set that included live recordings taken during the European leg of the tour on the CD and live footage of dress rehearsals shot before the tour kicked off. Jónsi’s song on the Dragon soundtrack led to his working with Cameron Crowe on the soundtrack to the director’s 2011 film We Bought a Zoo.
