Pyhtää and J. Karjalainen are already a concept and a tradition. And it always works. With his long-running summer concert series, J. presents his music in Kymenlaakso at Pyhtään Kulttuuritalo's grounds on Thursday, July 23.

J. Karjalainen, who began his recording career in 1981, is one of Finland's most popular singers and songwriters and once again one of the most anticipated artists of summer 2026. Last August's triumphant closing concert left no one unmoved despite the cold weather. And next summer the sun will shine!

The artist, who adapted American musical heritage to Finnish conditions, has always been in a class of his own regardless of which part of this treasure chest he has explored.

J. Karjalainen's songs such as "Kolme cowboyta", "Ankkurinappi", "Doris", "Sekaisin", "Hän", "Mies jolle ei koskaan tapahdu mitään", "Telepatiaa", "Villejä lupiineja", "Missä se Väinö on?", "Mennyt mies", "Stindebinde" and many others are an integral part of the Finnish soundscape. The artist's latest studio album "Suomalaista muotoiluu" was released in 2025 and has been praised. In the excellent band play the same trusted musicians Mikko Lankinen, Tom Nyman, Pekka Gröhn and Janne Haavisto.
