Anna Moss, New Orleans
Vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Anna Moss hails from the verdant forests and lush limestone of the Ozarks; yet her musical personality oozes New Orleans, the artist’s adopted hometown for several years. Beginning in 2020, a deep pandemic depression sent Moss spiraling inward for months. Isolated in her bedroom almost completely shut-off from the world, she accidentally unearthed a medicinal muse: writing solo songs on guitar for the first time. Channeling an inner Crescent City chanteuse, Anna’s newfound brand of stripped-down-soul is a sultry gumbo steeped in Southern R&B, Americana, and Crescent City porch jazz; gritty hymns of humanity, abolition, compassion and forgiveness busked to fruition in the historic French Quarter streets. Her debut solo album Anna Moss: Amnesty was released in March 2024 on Empire Records.

Heikki Ruokangas, FI
Heikki Ruokangas (born 1987) is a guitarist and composer from Oulu. Ruokangas has released a total of twelve albums, the latest of which was released in 2023 in New York by the impressive 577 Records.
The dialogue between melody and atonal tonality forms Ruokangas’s musical expression, which moves from delicate moods to almost violent avant-garde raving. The elements of the melodic narrative spring from the soulfulness of the Finnish waltz, the indifference of the delta blues, the deep echoes of the iron wire and the ecstasy of jazz. Ruokangas’s atonal tonal language is built on the out-playing ideas of jazz expression and the combinations of the geometric tonal language he developed. The melodic motifs based on the tonal tradition and the atonal tone together form a sound image that embodies “whining” Finnishness and individuality, where the familiar melodic blanks offer a gripping surface, while the atonal forms are new and wonderful.
In addition to Finland, Ruokangas has performed in Denmark, Estonia, Sweden, Belgium, Germany and Italy, and Ruokanga’s music has been published in Great Britain, the United States, Portugal, Australia and Germany. https://www.heikkiruokangas.com/

MUSIC BOARD, 30.3.
MUSIC JURY – THE NEXT SONG, THE NEXT DRIN
The Music Jury event Sauraava biisi, Sauraava drinkki is coming to the Saura Café again. Our record board buzz last year apparently made Levyraati return to television as well. It’s good. Music should be given the place it deserves, and that’s what we do in Saurahuone. The concept of our board is clear.
We listen to five songs and one bonus song chosen by the audience.
Each song is accompanied by a drink that matches it.
The non-alcoholic drink package costs 25 euros. There is no other fee, but this drink package is part of the evening. Please let us know if your diet is vegan, as some drinks may contain milk, honey or eggs.
The drink package can be upgraded to alcoholic upon arrival for 10 euros.
An authoritative rotating jury judges the song and the drink as well, and perhaps also evaluates the connection between them.
As an audience, you get to experience the same experiences as the jury and you can agree or disagree with the judges’ scores.
At Raadi, during our three spring events, we will see interesting storytellers and music experts. Mikko Tarvonen, a great music and drink lover, continues as a regular guest and storyteller. The other members of the Jury will be revealed later.
Book yourself a seat at the Levyraatikatsomo (or listening room). You can get it by buying a ticket entitling you to a drink package at Saura Shop Holvi web store.
A warm welcome to the stream of music, drink and consciousness.
It’s time for Sauraava’s song.
This year, the public can also participate in the selection of songs themselves.
One of the songs of the evening is chosen from among the songs requested by the customers in advance. The choice is influenced by the novelty value and the abundance of wishes. So send your song requests from this link
On the other hand, the audience can choose the bonus song of the evening.
Last year Music Jury filled up very quickly, so get your drink package at Holvin Saura Shop soon. It is a prerequisite, there is no other payment.
The event dates are Saturdays 24.2., 30.3. and 27.4. The event starts at 19:00 and the public must arrive between 18:15 and 18:45.
Let’s see, hear and listen.

Satu Lii • single release
Satu Lii’s music is smilingly melancholic, sensitive and at the same time raw. The songs that blend into the Finnish mental landscape and the artist’s sunny yellow voice in combination is addictive to listen to. The young artist has already managed, e.g. to win both YLE’s music board and last year our own Sauraava biisi, sauraava drinkki music board with his song More than ever. In the fall of 2023, you could see Satu Lii live at Lost in Music, Kuudes Linja and as Samuli Putro’s warm up. After Saurahuone, the next gigs are
13.4. Korjaamo Nightlore
23.5. G Livelab Helsinki
