We take our celebration back to Finland and more precisely Turku. Kuumat Siivet have released a couple of great EPs during the last few years and hopefully we’ll get a full-length album in the future. My own favorite song of the EPs is a song called Itke hänet pois and the songwriter Heidi Horila was kind enough to jump on the festival stage and play a solo piano version of this magnificent song for our enjoyment. If you want to hear these lovely EPs, hit that Bandcamp link below the video.

We must not forget our lovely neighbours and it’s about time to travel to Sweden for the first time during this event. I’m Kingfisher aka songwriter Thomas Jonsson from Lund, Sweden gives us a live from his kitchen version of the opening track of his 2018 album Transit. This particular song What Good Would Loving Do Me Now? was a huge favorite of mine last year so I’m thrilled to have it playing on this festival. Follow that bandcamp link, if you want to hear the studio version of this one and the whole wonderful record.

Moving across the ocean to Baltimore, Maryland to meet up with singer-songwriter Caleb Stine who performs a magnificent new song Canary with his band member from the Brakemen, guitarist Burke Sampson. Caleb Stine’s excellent song vault is full of gorgeous poetic folk songs. If you want to dig deeper you’ll find a couple of Caleb Stine solos from Spotify and the more roots rock 2015 Brakemen album from Bandcamp. I had managed to miss his 2018 album Moon completely, so I’ll know what I will be listening to after this festival. But that’s another story. Here’s the beautiful festival song Canary by Caleb Stine and Burke Sampson.

Next we take our party gear back to Finland for a classic song from a band that has been part of this blog throughout all these years. I’m talking about Finnish indie band called Mummypowder and their frontman Janne Lehtinen who jumps on the festival stage to deliver a great acoustic version of Don’t Hold Your Breath from their 2004 album Consternation! Uproar!. There’s also a fabulous music video for the studio version of this song, so check that out after this beautiful acoustic performance.
