Progressive Shores Journeys to Finland

[the_original_ib]

Hello,

This will be the Summer of Scandinavia (and Northern countries in general) on Progressive Shores, and we begin with a trip to Finland beginning this coming Thursday. It will be a three week series, covering the following eras:

Week 1 (5/15): Early - Mid 70s
Week 2 (5/22): Late 70s - 80s
Week 3 (5/29): 90s - today

After Finland we will do the rest of the North over the next few months. I hope you will join me to appreciate this music, or if you are new to it, to learn more about it.

Regards,
Sean McFee

Any chance we'll be hearing something from Jukka Tolonen and/or Tasavallan Presidentti? I've played both on my show before.

Keep up the fine work.

Hey,

There will definitely be material from both Jukka Tolonen and Tasavallan Presidentti.

Also this will actually be a *four* part series.

Week 1 (5/15): Late 60s - Early 70s
Week 2 (5/22): Early - Mid 70s
Week 3 (5/29): Late 70s - 80s
Week 4 (6/05): 90s - today

I want to try not to miss anything and four weeks should offer a chance to take a few more chances on oddball picks.

Regards,
Sean
