Editor's note

Iiris, a Finnish band with Celtic roots

A trio blending folk traditions and original songs since 2008.

For a good sense of their style, try "Glimmering" or "Just Like An Ogre." They're the kind of songs that stick with you.

Iiris built a following by playing small venues with their take on Celtic music, and their 2012 debut album "Dragon Song" gained international attention. Songs like "Glimmering" and "Anomaly" show how they weave Irish, Scottish, and Breton folk into their sound. Emma Salokoski's vocals and lyrics stay at the center, with Aleksi Parviainen's guitar and Jarmo Nikku's percussion holding it all together.

They formed in 2008 and released their first album "Dragon Song" in 2012. Since then, they've put out records like "Valo" in 2014, "Kevät" in 2017, and "Tuuletar" in 2020.
