Jonna T.
Went to see Jonna Tervomaa in Tavastia yesterday.
The scheduling seemed odd, since posters stated that showtime was 21:30. Decided against early arrival, and got to the place after half past eleven, when the warm-up act, Tuure Kilpeläinen was playing. Very much singer-songwritery- type stuff, not bad at all but not exactly my cup of tea either. Some good bits in songs, but not enough to really raise the vocalist up from mediocrity. Or perhaps I’m being just too critical.
The main act was accompanied by extremely lame interaction with the audience, but the gig itself was good. Sharp vocals, accompanied by funked-up renditions of classic songs by Jussi Jaakonaho the guitarist. Turns out (as far as I could tell from the confusing raps) that this was indeed the second gig of the day, first one having been played at the appointed hour. But she bravely played the expected hour-and-then-some, and I decided to split around the third song in the encore to escape the rush at the coatcheck. No new songs that I could tell.
Despite this being quite a bit later occasion than yesterday’s, there were still buses going north. Which was good, since there seemed to be a bit of shortage on taxis.
