Jolly Jumpers

Jolly Jumpers - R.I.P.



Jolly Jumpers started back in 1980 in Tyrnävä, Finland, a small rural community only a short drive from the Arctic Circle. They are one of the

pioneers, and also one of the best-kept secrets, of the Finnish alternative rock scene. They've truly achieved the status of "living legend".



Throughout their quarter century of existence, Jolly Jumpers stubbornly created their own totally unique musical brand of Finnish Americana. In their music, you can hear echoes of the sincere spirituality of Johnny Cash; the fragile, doomed beauty of Velvet Underground; the guitar thunder of Neil Young & Crazy Horse - all combined with the most hypnotic strains of ancient Finnish musical tradition.



With the release of their 7th album, the critically-acclaimed "Mobile Babylon" (2006), Jolly Jumpers received broader public recognition, which resulted in several tours in Europe. In 2008 the band delivered their last, deepest and most powerful album "Fantom Zone".



Jolly Jumpers played their last concert on December 5, 2009, in Oulu.
