And the perfect preparation for the dancing that will be happening tomorrow at our very own LITHA FEST!

Johanna Iivanainen’s & Johanna Kurkela’s Altamullan Road is certainly worth checking out. Fullsteam Agency gave us the opportunity to see their show at Tampere’s Pakkahuone on Valentine’s Day and if you have a chance to experience their blend of cinematic, folk, and pop music yourself I highly recommend doing so.
