Arppa’s insightful, sincere and laser-sharp depictions of atmospheres go from Ykspihlaja in Kokkola to night-time Helsinki and onward to a July ‘58 speakeasy with Laila Kinnunen. It is impossible to not get swept away by Arppa’s natural presence and the band’s palpable, sincere joy of performing.
Arppa has gathered a group of skilled, expressive musicians, who has allowed his atmospheric texts to be surrounded by a beautiful and harmonious soundscape. His band includes musicians Ville-Veikko Airaniemi, Eero Seppä and Okko Saastamoinen.
The artist, who released his self-published debut album Laavalamppuja in August 2020, has quickly cashed in the promise of new artist and become one of Finland’s most popular names. Arppa’s second album, Kinovalon alla, was released in September 2021. The LPs of the first edition of the album sold out in three weeks. The album was liked by both audiences and critics, and all of its singles all received airtime on national radio. The album was followed by a tour, the gigs of which were largely sold out in several locations. The same year saw the artist be nominated for four Emma awards (Rookie of the Year, Rock of the Year, Critics' Choice, Artist of the Year Audience Vote) as well as a third place in Soundi magazine’s Best Albums Audience Vote for 2021. Arppa and his band released their third album, Valeria, in March 2023.
The gig is part of Arppa's autumn concert tour.
There will be an intermission; no age limit.
