Solar revolution at the truck stage
I had some initial fears about how would Samettivallankumous fare, as the very popular Von Hertzen Brothers played on the main stage at same time. My fears were unnecessary. Their “happy country music”, performed with an amazing groove fit the sunny afternoon like a glove.In addition to a few new songs, the set consisted of tracks from the debut album, which was released last autumn. The audience utilized the available free space with enthusiastic dancing, which was actively encouraged by the band.
Ville Härkönen, the vocalist of the group, noted near the end of the concert how he likes to play music live. From the audience this was easy to believe.
