Jani Forsman & The Sleepwalkers – Evolution of Roots Music, Vol. 10
Apr 23, 2025 | 7:00 pm
Ala-Malmin tori 1, 00700 Helsinki
The Sleepwalkers, the number one favourite among fans of nostalgia, draws its genuine and authentic influences directly from ‘60s Finnish instrumental rock and beat music.
The band embodies the classic elements of the era without compromise and with style – in their playing, appearance and The Shadows-style stage choreography. These features have made The Sleepwalkers a hit with the nostalgia-hungry public.
The Sleepwalkers is a band formed in 2000 in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area. It started out as an instrumental band but, since 2018, has been working closely with a lead vocalist. Nowadays, the band’s repertoire includes both instrumentals and songs.
2025 will mark the 25th anniversary of The Sleepwalkers.
