Hot Club de Jakobstad
The band plays music in the style of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, but also traditional songs and melodies from the Swedish-speaking areas of Ostrobothnia in gypsy jazz style.

The HCdJ members are Mikael Fröjdö, violin, Joel Svenfelt, guitar, Peki Jansson, guitar, and Rufus Malen, double bass. The band is a passion project for its members, and over the past two and a half years they have performed on many different types of stages: at festivals, in pubs, at clubs and in cafés. In the future, the band is planning to take over Finnish and Nordic jazz, ethnomusic and folk music stages – and recording sessions.

Tytti Metsä ja Hyypiöt
The sound of the Tytti Metsä ja Hyypiöt trio combines the rasp of the jouhikko bowed lyre and the melodious singing of Metsä with the hypnotic rhythms of double bass played by Paatelainen and the percussions played by Haavisto. Traditional folk music merges with the swinging americana.

Tytti Metsä – vocals, jouhikko bowed lyre and accordion
Miikka Paatelainen – double bass and steel guitar
Janne Haavisto / Mamba Assefa – percussions
