History
Lauri Tähkä & Elonkerjuu is a five-member band hailing from Western Finland. The band combines elements of traditional Finnish folk-music with energetic rock, blending into catchy tunes with a twist. The band's frontman sings all lyrics in the distinct Western Finnish dialect, creating a distinct feeling of the music coming from a long tradition of folk-singers. This is furthered by the fiddling of Johanna Koivu, which also draws on the tradition of fiddle-music that exists in Western Finland.
The band consists of musicians all working under pseudonyms. Jarkko Tapani Suo (vocals, guitar), Johanna Koivu (violin, backing vocals), Simo Ralli (guitar, backing vocals), Antero Naali (bass), and Lenni Paarma (drums, backing vocals). Mr. Suo left the band in 2011 and was replaced by Juha Lagström.
