Jukka Lampela, also known from the Souvarit dance orchestra, went on a tour with his own band Lapponia in the spring of 2014. The first gig with Lapponia was in March at Hotel Ylläsrinne and the gig was also on Yle Radio Suomen Lavalauantai, and it was heard on Radio Suomen in the summer.
– We are excited to be going on a gig with our own band. Our program will be real dance music and will also include my own recordings and songs I have performed at gigs before, says Jukka Lampela, who comes from Molkojärvi, Kittilä.
Singer and accordionist Jukka Lampela has already released three solo albums during his career, including the radio single Läpi onnen kyynelten from the highly acclaimed album Hymyä ja hyvää tuulta.
Jukka was in the Souvarit lineup for 27 years and has been involved in several albums - including his own vocals.
– I look back on that time with warmth, it holds many pleasant memories.
Jukka also has a Golden Accordion competition victory in his back pocket.
