Joel Hallikainen, a mega-hit back in the day, now encourages his son Eel’s music career
Joel Hallikainen’s gigs are still toured by a group of loyal fans who have been with him since the years of his huge success in the 1990s.
Today, Joel is a fan in the audience of his son, who is building a career as an artist.
– I entered this competition without much thought, but I have been performing and making music for years,” says Eeli Hallikainen.
A professional musician is a singer and performer with a wide range of talents. Finnish pop music has a place in his heart.
When asked if the tango market is part of its own summer traditions, Eel’s answer is still short: \”not\”.
A father supporting his son
Among the audience in Ideapark was Eel’s father Joel.
– There’s a relative out there, and I came to cheer him. Eeli Hallikainen is also involved in the family, says Joel Hallikainen, who is still actively gigging.
At the end of July, the father and son had a joint gig for a summer restaurant in Säkylä.
– If – and the big weight in a word if – Eeli succeeds in the market here, we will have to cancel the gig for Eeli because she would not get there. We have agreed that advertising will be announced *canceled for success *. Success is a good reason to cancel, Father Hallikainen laughs.
Joel Hallikainen’s gigs are still touring with loyal fans who are reversing from the 1990s giant success.
– Some fans are the most loyal loyal. Sometimes I laugh that I may see them more than my wife. They have another thousand gigs behind, and here they met.
