| Ed Hendela |
| Internationally recognized accordionist, Ed Hendela, has entertained audiences throughout the New York Metropolitan area, along the Eastern Seaboard from Florida to New England, and in the Canadian cities of Edmonton and Toronto. His one-man orchestra, which includes an Iorio MIDI accordion to replicate many instruments including piano, guitar, and string bass, provides a surprisingly full sound. He often strolls acoustically, in restaurant and festival settings, as well. Ed has backed Finnish singing star, Berit, played several years with the Swedish Cult Band, and has a repertoire that includes standards from the 1940's thru 1990's, plus ethnic favorites, including Scandinavian, German, and other European tunes.

| Laura Marek |
| Lauramari is an artist with a rich background and affinity for
languages that make her a very
dynamic performer. Although she was born and raised in a small town
in PA, her Finnish
heritage, good command of the Finnish language and experience of
living in Finland for several years,
have made her about as Finnish as one can get.
Being raised by musical parents left her no choice other than to pick
up an instrument or two and start singing since before
she could even talk. Her love of Finnish music, particularly
Värttinä, started with a little trip to a
Scandinavian specialty store, Viking Village, about 10 years ago,
where she bought her first Värttinä album. Once she heard their
music, she was hooked. It was during this time she knew that she
wanted to perform songs like these at Scanfest. |
