Perinnearkkuklubi: Timo Rautiainen and Ville Ojanen

A new folk lineup is touring Finland in September and will also make an appearance at Malmitalo!

Timo Rautiainen and Ville Ojanen, both with long careers in Finnish music, released a joint album in January. The pair are united by a love for traditional folk music, which they have both studied and performed on their own. As Ojanen is more deeply immersed in the genre in his career, Rautiainen's journey with music is shorter, even though his first touch with folk music took place almost half a century ago.

This new folk lineup is touring Finland in September on a tour sponsored by the Folk Music Federation. The Helsinki Concert is organised by Perinnearkku.

Timo Rautiainen – vocals, bouzouki and guitar
Ville Ojanen – violin, vocals and mandolin
Nils Ursin – bass, vocals and stomp box
