Though based in Minnesota, the band has also appeared at festivals in other states and venues throughout Finland, and they've accompanied the Twin Cities Finnish folkdance group Kisarit. Reflections/Muistelmia, the first full-length Finn Hall CD, was released in 2002. You can also find them on the 1997 video The Old Finn Hall Variety Show, Parts I & II, and on several tracks of Koivun Kaiku's beautiful holiday CD A Finnish American Christmas (1998). Finn Hall brings the spirited music central to Finnish-American social life from the late 1800s through the 1950s resoundingly into the 21st century!
