About Me

Hello Folks!
My name is Esko. People call me Esko. I was born in Kaustinen, thanks to my parents. Today I live and study folk music in Helsinki. I play different kinds of fiddles, harmonium and piano. Some other instruments too in idiot-secure environments.
I play in bands like Frigg, Tsuumi Sound System, Baltic Crossing and Tötterssön. They are all really nice bands. I like to have fun, sleep, play yatzy, laugh and jam, especially polska!
