ARI & MARKO
Ari Koivunen rose to fame as the winner of Idols in 2007. He was the vocalist of the Finnish heavy metal band Amoral from 2008 to 2017 and worked in many musical projects. He is a multi-instrumentalist but is best talent is that voice! He can sing anything and make it sound his own.
​
Marko Salonen is the singer/songwriter of Marze. His ability to take a song and stretch it through every emotion possible is just genius. The soft warm tones of his voice add to the atmospheric and sometimes eerie compositions.
Together, Ari and Marko make the ultimate duo. They will perform all of your favourite cover songs from every genre and through in their own stuff too.
SISSI
Sissi was a contestant in The Voice of Finland. Her rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow was heart meltingly beautiful and she advanced through the competition.
​
She has since teamed up with guitarist/keyboardist Otto to kick off our weekend with some classic covers .
