La Torrefazione summer programme
LIVE WEDNESDAYS
21.5. Duo Hermancito
Duo Hermancito takes you on an exhilarating journey around the world, from homegrown songs to the warm rhythms of the South.
28.5. Hannaeerika
Hannaeerika – the voice of the future that feels like home. Hannaeerika is a charming new name on the Finnish indie music scene.
4.6. Armi Harmio
Armi Harmio is Sanni Seppä’s alter ego – a reflection through which Sanni can bring out aspects of herself that she would otherwise not dare to share.
Armi Harmio’s voice is her most powerful instrument – its fresh vibrato transports the listener directly to the golden age of Finnish disco and the smoky clubs of 1920s French cabarets.
11.6. Keiski
Keiski is a singer-songwriter from Orimattila, whose music intertwines British pop and folk. Vocals and guitars run smoothly side by side in the performance, creating an atmosphere that gently embraces the listener.
18.6. Elina Teini
30.7. Ketunhautaintie
6.8. Keidas
Keidas was founded out of the need to bring back the coolness to Finnish rock. The band’s soundscape glides smoothly from long guitar riffs to nostalgic Swedish pop tones, with snappy lyrics adding just the right twisted edge.
13.8. Raivo Jackson
Raivo Jackson is a Helsinki-based Americana band led by Saska Lammila, whose music is based on dark folk, roots and nordic noir.
20.8. Satu Lii
New generation singer-songwriter Satu Lii will release her third album in April 2025. Satu Lii’s music is at once delicate and raw. The artist’s sunny yellow voice and guitar-driven melodies pulse with country nuances, while the smilingly melancholic lyrics paint the songs as part of the Finnish mental landscape.
