Tuomari Nurmio is in many ways the quintessential Finnish {
ock} musician. His work draws inspiration from both American roots music and traditional Finnish popular music. His resulting sound transcends either by juxtaposing various styles in unique yet accessible ways. You're as likely to hear {klezmer} and {flamenco} as you are {Delta blues} and {
ockabilly} flavors in his music. His literary lyrics are insightful snapshots of big city bars and streets.
Nurmio has recorded popular and roots music, {schlager}, {lues}, {country}, { angos}, {
ew wave}, and combinations of the above. He released two albums in English under different band names: Meet the Meatballs as the Meatballs (1984) and Hillbilly Spacecraft as the Barnhill Boys (1994). An early single was released under the name Judge Bean, Jr., a moniker he used again in 2007. As an aside, Nurmio has a higher degree in law and theoretically could work as a judge. His stage name, "Tuomari," translates as "Judge."
