Folk and Dance Music Ensemble JEEPERS
JEEPERS is a folk and dance music ensemble from Tampere and Kangasala, Finland. We perform in private events and on public arenas. We are running JEEPERS Folk Clubs at Pirtti in Kangasala. Welcome just to hear and feel us – or to play with us. We are always glad to invite guest musicians on stage. We also arrange dance evenings in the surroundings of Tampere.
More good news from Jeepers
Minna Pajula has joined our band as a vocalist. Welcome Minna to our line-up!
Time for happy news now!
Welcome Matti Ruippo to join Jeepers! Now we can bravely say we have a professional musician in our line-up! Matti plays the bass, and and our guess is that sooner or later he might also make a few arrangements for our band.
In memoriam Olli-Pekka
