Live on Stage!
Rusty Shovel Experience
at 21:00
Central Finland's most notorious outlaw country!
Genuine, rootsy and urban biker atmosphere, legendary American tunes from Merle Haggard to Willie Nelson and David Allan Coe, with fresh arrangements and with fiery additional spices! RSE is a collective that always builds depending on the gig, with soloist Allu Ahlfors pulling the trigger, sometimes from biker garage parties, to pub gigs and bigger festival stages. Now on stage we will see a whole country band, the real Jyväskylä "Good, bad and ugly!"

Hi-Speed Rockets
22:45
Hi-Speed Rockets is a fresh Finnish supergroup of roots music. New, yes, only in the sense that the debut album came out in the fall of 2023, even though the rocket engines started for the first time almost a decade ago. The line-up was established in 2020. All four musicians (Alex – vocals and guitar, Gona – guitar, Janne – bass and Hape – drums) have more than 30 years of playing experience. And not everyone has earned the spurs only in roots circles, because the band's soloist Alex Ojasti is also known as a founding member of the dance-pop band Aikakone. The old salt has been thirsting for him for a long time, however, and Alex has returned to the time before the invention of Aikakone, to his first love, rockabilly. Ojasti shows his flexibility as a vocalist, when his voice bends from loud rocking to a delicate love song. On the album, guitarist Gona Lehtinen plays his six strings in several different styles, conjuring soundscapes in the style of Twin Peaks or with an electric rock sound, and continuing with strong jazz nuances. Hape and Janne, on the other hand, cast a solid concrete background kick with a drum set and a double bass.
