On July 1, experience Eereka’s atmospheric solo concert at Wille in Äänekoski. Welcome! Eereka’s solo concert is an intimate experience where the songwriter’s music is heard at its most authentic: stripped-down, accompanied by deep piano tones and bright guitar, and delivered with a strong voice. The solo tour shows follow the theme “Tänä kesänä aion rakastuu”. They mark the songwriter’s return to their roots — to where the love for music began and where the songs were born: singing at the piano or the guitar.
