Finn Hall Photo (28K)
Finn Hall is a group of musicians dedicated to preserving the feel and sounds of dances at the Finn Halls found in most Finnish-American communities in the late 1800's into the 1950's. We try to remain true to the original tunes, and have added dances that were just coming into vogue in the 50's and 60's - like the humppa and tango. Our first CD (Reflections/Muistelmia) was released in the summer of 2002.

Musicians in the picture from left to right are Ralph (Rauli) Tuttila, Dennis Halme, Cheryl Paschke, Johanna Doty, Al Reko, and Mary Oberg Hanf. Johanna has moved out of state, so she only performs with the group on those occasions when she can return.



We pay loving tribute to two musicians who were an integral part of our first CD, Reflections/Muistelmia, and who have since died, Margaret Norling, and Toni Tikkanen.
