Hard-working Pakarinen has released music in both English and Finnish. She will be featured in the 15th season of The Best Singers in September, which means that At the Roots Club will also feature a varied selection of Pakarinen's music.
The pulsating heart of everyone’s favourite Monday night club is made of jazz, blues, country, folk, rhythm and blues, bluegrass and Americana roots music. As usual, the club hosts are Juki Välipakka and The Rooty Toot Toot Band.
