The John Graham Project (IG: @johngrahammusic):
The John Graham Project, based in Helsinki–Turku, explores a distinctive blend of psychedelic folk, blues, jazz, Eastern modalities, and classical textures. Their unique sound is shaped by harmonica, organ, and cello, interwoven with loops and samples. This concert also features the remarkable domra player, Maria Sapelkina.

------------------
Kalabaliikki is a Helsinki-based retro-futuristic ethnic fusion band that defies strict definition. Inspired by sun-bleached vacation advertisements, vaguely psychedelic European animations from the 1980s, and surrealities in the annals of history, the band creates fictitious folk music for imaginary peoples.
Their unique soundscape is a combination of Petri Lahtinen's Cretan laouto and bağlama saz, Matti Pekonen's extraordinary electric bass effects, and the enticing rhythms of the drummer-percussionist pair Santeri Kinnunen and Janne "Aukka" Auvinen.
Kalabaliikki's debut album "Leijonan kääntöpiiri" ("Tropic of Lion") was released digitally and on vinyl by Alakulttuuritalo on 30 May 2025.
