Antti Koivula, known from the TV show Strickly Come Dancing, has toured stages as the vocal soloist of the My First Band, also on the European tours of the Sunrise Avenue.
Koivula, who combines pop, art music and rhythm & blues live, loves movement and makes the audience feel comfortable with his presence. He highlights dancing as a unifying factor in his singing career: “The genre doesn’t really matter, as long as you can dance to it!”
At Musine’s gig, Antti Koivula will be accompanied by the talented SaloJazz House Band:
Konsta Mäenpää, guitar
Okke Komulainen, keyboards
Esa Mäkynen, base
Teppo Mäkynen, drums
Vappu festivities start at Musine already at 18.30 when Saimi ja Saku get on the stage. Saimi and Saku are a nuanced duo who interpret familiar songs with new atmospheric arrangements. Two strongly resonating voices and the piano form a unique and unforgettable harmony.
