Mirja Klippel and Alex Jønsson (Finland)

With a captivating voice and a rich sound universe, the Finnish songwriter, singer, and multi-instrumentalist Mirja Klippel is a remarkable talent in the folk music scene. Her debut EP ‘Lift Your Lion’ (2016) earned the musician a Danish Music Award Folk as Songwriter of the Year. After her debut album ‘River of Silver’ (2018) followed ‘Slow Coming Alive’ (2021), with which she draws the audience into a fresh and atmospheric universe. Klippel sings about love, war, and longing. About blood ties and grandfathers fighting, each for their own country. About forests, lakes, and animals. She sings about the nomadic life and compassion and about never quite belonging anywhere. Her deep, melancholic voice and Spanish guitar blend beautifully with the falsetto and electric guitar of Alex Jønsson. A discovery! In collaboration with Toernee Mondial
