BERNHOFT

Bernhoft, who last visited April Jazz in 2016, is a gifted and consummate guitarist, songwriter, artist and all-round likeable guy from just north of Oslo, Norway. This critically acclaimed, award winning audience favourite has a rock-solid discography and a decade worth of sold-out tours to his name. 

The recently released “Dancing On My Knees” is Bernhoft’s seventh full-length album, which he describes as the most personal of his records to date. “Call Out Kids”, dedicated to his sons, is the heart of this album. Completely free of any doubt, the song is an energetic declaration of unconditional love that will have you dancing. On your feet or knees!

Peela

Peela consists of some of the finest upcoming jazz musicians in Helsinki, centering around the compositions of guitarist Johannes Granroth. They draw influences from jazz, funk rock and neo soul to a blend where improvisation, powerful melodies, lush harmony and groovy rhythms play a central role. Their music is mostly instrumental, though at times enhanced by Maja Mannila’s virtuosic singing. Peela has released their debut album "Layers" in 2018, as well as their second album/ep "Stepping Stones" in 2020.
