[local-music] The Finn Hall Band at KBC on Friday!

[Oren Tikkanen]

POLKAS--WALTZES--SCHOTTISCHES--TANGOS!

SONGS IN AN INCOMPREHENSIBLE LANGUAGE!

Hei, hei, hei! The famous Finn Hall Band from Minneapolis-St. Paul will 
be playing the best of Finnish traditional music at the Keweenaw Brewing 
Company in downtown Houghton this Friday evening, December 2nd. Satisfy 
your secret accordion lust with squeezebox virtuosi Al Reko and Dennis 
Halme. Steal a dance with mandolinist and tango-meister Ralph Tuttila. 
Trade quips with guitarist-banjoist Oren Tikkanen, the man who has been 
told, "Yah--you're almost as funny as you think you are, hey?"

Early December is the time for the traditional round of parties and 
dances called Pikku Joulu--"Little Christmas." The Keweenaw Brewing 
Company at 408 Shelden Avenue in Houghton will be the perfect place to 
launch the holiday season with the Finn Hall Band. Put your dancing 
shoes in the pocket of your parka and mush on down. Remember what Eino 
says: "You don't gotta be Finnish to enjoy Finnish culture--in fact, 
it's probably better if you're not!"

The music will start about 8:00 PM and go until the Friday closing time 
of 11:00 PM.
