By now you have probably guessed that I really enjoy Johanna Kurkela’s whole vibe. From Altamullan Road, Auri, and Eye of Melian to her solo career, she’s proven herself to be a magical, incredible vocalist, as well as one of the kindest people I’ve ever been so fortunate to come across. This winter, she’s been doing a Joulun Lauluja kiertue, aka Yuletide Songs Tour, throughout the churches of Finland. While I wasn’t attending the show in Vantaa, I did come into town to do a short Yuletide Special interview for Off the Record with Johanna, her brother Timo Kurkela, and her Auri bandmate, Troy Donockley (Nightwish) to find out what they love best about the holiday season!
Check out the gig report from the Joulun Lauluja tour from Tampere (7.12) here or Kathy Criswell’s full travel blog and final show (8.12) report here!
