Next we travel on to Montreal, Canada. Tim Crabtree is originally from the UK, but he has been living in Montreal for years. He operates under the name Paper Beat Scissors and has been releasing deeply moving chamber folk for a decade or so. Big congratulations to Tim on the release of his new album Parallel Line that just came out on 13th of September on Forward Music Group. That was also the eve of this festival, so I’ll return to that after this anniversary week. Meanwhile we can spend a little while in the arms of this beautiful acoustic live version of album cut Grace.

We are carrying on with the outdoor theme, but leave the Finnish landscape behind us and travel all the way to Sunday Rocks in Florissant, Colorado.

Next we are holding on to the last bits of the summer with the first Finnish entry of the day two. Finnish folk rock band Janne Tapion Sisäinen Avaruus shot their summery festival entry during their outdoor concert at Kurpitsatalo, Tampere in early August. The song Ansaksi meille is an outtake from their awesome 2019 album that came out on the 31st of May on Lumpeela julkaisut. If you want hear more, a good place to start is this music video for the song Kaikki oli paremmin ennen.
