Charlotte & Elisabeth
|
Charlotte Pelgen (voice) and Elisabeth Pfeiffer (ukulele) share a common passion for chansons. Elisabeth has a background in classical guitar, while Charlotte is specialized in Swing and Jazz from the 20s and 30s. Both have been performing solo and with different projects all over Europe until starting their collaboration in 2019. Together they present contemporary and classic chansons by composers like Jacques Brel, Georg Kreisler, Tom Lehrer and many others. The reduced approach they chose shines a new light on these songs and makes them feel very intimate, almost fragile at times.

Mari's UKE Joinery
|
MariUS, native of Germany, started his musical journey from an early age and having acquired a broad background in performing and producing music, he finally came across the ukulele in 2011. As he instantly felt very comfortable and at home with it, bass and guitar took a backseat and his main passion and focus became channeling musical ideas through this small instrument.
Read about “a cross-continental ukulele joinery” and “Zacq & Mari”! Just recently MariUS wrote the anthem for the TWUF which was subsequently used as a festival trailer. Finnish musicians Kari Pekka Nyyssönen (b) and Make Nissinen (perc.) are rounding out his UKULELE JOINERY at the 2020 festival. |

This singer, entertainer and uke-enthusiast was born in the United States, raised in New Zealand, calls Munich home and he's finally coming to Finland! Nick's love of ukulele combined with his ability to motivate a crowd and entertain means that when he's behind the microphone, a good time is guaranteed.

Leipomo on 8-henkinen Päijät-Hämeen seudulla toimiva ukulele-bändi. Ryhmää ohjaa ja musiikkia sille sovittaa Antti Ahonen. Instrumentteina ovat erikokoiset ukulelet, bassoukulele mukaan lukien. Rytmin antaa cajon-rumpusetti.
Ohjelmisto koostuu pääasiassa 1960-70 -lukujen kotimaisesta ja käännetystä materiaalista, joukossa monia ennen kuulemattomia Ahosen käännöstekstejä. Yhteisenä tavoitteena on tuottaa kappaleisiin niin rock´n´roll -henkinen ilmapiiri kuin hentoäänisellä soittimella on mahdollista. Lisää dataa tästä. |
Ukelos
|
Ukelos on syksyllä 2018 Jyväskylässä perustettu hyväntuulen laulu- ja ukuleleyhtye, joka muokkaa menneiden vuosikymmenten parhaita paloja hymynkare suupielessä, hämmentää soppaa sopivasti omilla mausteillaan ja lisää toisinaan settiin myös omia kappaleitaan. Bändin ohjelmistossa tutut ja tuntemattomammat jazz- ja popkappaleet saavat ukulelesta uutta virtaa, jolle neliääninen laulu antaa suorastaan siivet.
