18.30-19.00 Roosa of Lapland

Roosa of Lapland is a songwriter from Rovaniemi. She performs her songs accompanied by her acoustic guitar. She has been described as a lovely sensitive soul who sings with all her heart.

What began as writing letters and poems eventually turned into songwriting — when other people’s words were no longer enough to sing, she needed to clear her own head through song.

Expect love stories, wise words from grandparents, heartbreaks, and credit card bills. Life in all its beauty and roughness!
