PELTONIEMI BROTHERS ST URHO’S DAY SHOW MARCH 16 IN NYM

The Cultural Center in New York Mills is celebrating the Finnish culture of the region with the Peltoniemi Brothers on Saturday, March 16, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. in New York Mills. We’re excited to have the Brothers here on St. Urho’s Day to create and celebrate connections for all those with Finnish roots (and also those who wish they did!)!

Kip and Eric Peltoniemi’s long relationship with folk, country, Finnish and Nordic music began in Wadena, Minnesota in the early 1960s when as teenagers they began performing at county fairs, dances, township halls, and even boxing matches. In their college years they went on to perform at folk festivals, Twin City coffeehouses and regional clubs and resorts.

They soon developed their talents for mixing entertaining comedy with hot instrumentals and more serious music. They perform both interpretations of classic and rarer music as well as their acclaimed originals.  Kip and Eric produce an entertaining show that showcases their individual talents as well as their upbringing in the Finnish culture.

The concert begins at 7:30 p.m., with doors opening at 7:00 p.m. This event will be held at the Cultural Center, in our intimate listening-room-style Gallery space. All tickets are general admission so arrive early to claim the best seats!  Complimentary snacks and a cash bar will be available.  All are welcome!

Ticket pricing is $5 for students, $12 adult advance or $15 adult at the door (-$2 member discount).  Wear purple to show your St. Urho’s Day spirit and get $1 off at the door!
