Flow Festival: Mopo,Suvilahti, Parrukatu, helsinki9.8. At 16:00
Finnish trio Mopo, our very own punk-jazz phenomenon, performs at Flow Festival 2014. The group will take the Balloon 360 Stage at 4PM.
Mopo is unarguably one of the most talked-of and individual groups in the Finnish jazz scene at the moment. The talented trio has succeeded in attracting some unlikely audiences in addition to jazz enthusiasts, too, which is surely due to their winning aura and the range of their influences. The group released their second album early this year, and now they will speed off to Flow. Hop on!

Linda Fredriksson, sax, willow flute, glockenspiel
Eero Tikkanen, double bass, harmonica, rubber chicken
