RESIDENT: Robin Mäetalu. Soul Night Ft. MA Duo • Philly Joe's Summer Residency

The Philly Joe’s Summer Residency programme provides a platform for talented young Estonian artists on the jazz scene! New ensembles, colourful programs and the opportunity to hear jazz and music with its influences from a new perspective on every concert evening - all this is offered by selected artists, week after week throughout the summer.

During July, drummer Henri Paul Pukk and guitarist Robin Mäetalu will be sharing a residency introducing new themes and collaborators each week. Their concerts will take place on Wednesdays (02.07, 09.07, 23.07 ja 30.07) and on Friday (18.07).

“Soul Night”

Robin Mäetalu and Maarja Aarma will be performing songs in both Estonian and English, their own creations and the music of authors who have been a source of inspiration for them as a guitar and vocal duo. Their fresh dynamic is bound by a common taste in music and together they walk the paths of R'n'B, soul, jazz and melodic vocal music. The conversation of vocal and guitar sounds caresses the ears of the listeners and guarantees a cozy atmosphere.

Robin Mäetalu is a bachelor's degree graduate of the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, who previously studied at the Georg Ots Tallinn Music School. Over the years, Robin has played in several different well-known pop bands (Karl-Eric Taukar, Jüri Pootsmann, etc.) and in studio bands of television shows.

Maarja Aarma is a versatile young singer and songwriter, known as the leader of the neo-soul band Maarja Aarma MA and the jazz ensemble Gretagrund, additionally the member of KVART vocal group. She is also a singing teacher and arranges music for vocal ensembles, choirs and instrumental ensembles.
