Ur Skogen (SE/NO)
Ur Skogen is a duo with wild rhythms and ancient scales. On the solid base of Emelie’s nyckelharpa, Erik’s Swedish bagpipes and various folk flutes are given their time to shine, inviting the listener to an adventure through old forests and half-forgotten tunes.
Miika Leivo
Recently settled in Lahti, Miika Leivo blends big-city folk and indie influences with the Finnish singer-songwriter tradition. In his atmospheric solo shows, vocals and guitar take center stage, bringing the lyrics even closer to the listener. The mood can be characteristically Finnish—melancholic, yet never overwhelming. His 2024 debut album as Nääj received a four-star review from Pekka Laine, and the songs have been heard on radio stations and playlists. Known for his intense live performances, Miika has opened for artists such as Samuli Putro and Edu Kettunen.
Rautakoura
Rautakoura is a bear that sleeps through the winters and rampages through the summers. It’s been that way for years, ever since our mandolin player moved up north to study. Hibernation is restless and often broken – interrupted time and again by gigs or recording sessions.
Matti – mandolin, vocals
Juho – bass, vocals
Lauri – banjo, vocals
Pekka – guitar, vocals
Teija Niku
Finnish accordionist and composer Teija Niku releases her fourth solo album “Tovi”, a self-produced work that continues the artistic path of her previous solo album “Hetkessä” (2019).
All the music on the album is again composed, arranged, and recorded by Niku herself. Many of the pieces draw from Nordic folk dance styles, yet the album also features the Balkan-inspired sound world characteristic of her music.
Teija Niku – accordion
Concertina City
The programme of the Concertina City concert features modern arrangements of Irish and Nordic folk music for anglo concertina, celtic harp and tin whistles. In addition to music, the performance includes stories in which mystical instruments, melodies, and people are woven into living cultural tradition.
Lauri Häme – concertina
Laura Airola – Nyckelharpa (keyed fiddle), celtic harp
Samuli Karjalainen – bouzouki and tin whistles
