She’s Leaving Home
Finland
All the way from Southern Finland, She’s Leaving Home made their debut appearance at Abbey Road on the River in 2023. They have also performed multiple times at International Beatleweek in Liverpool, Niterói Beatle Week in Rio de Janeiro, as well as in Russia, Belgium, and, of course, their home country, Finland.
SLH offers a unique interpretation of The Beatles’ music — presenting the iconic songs without guitars! This keyboard-driven, sometimes funky, performance features a female lead vocalist, bass, drums, and creative stylistic adaptations.
Keyboardist Riddo Ridberg has spent decades performing with various bands, including Bruce Springsteen and Deep Purple tribute acts. In 2017, he realized his long-held dream of starting a Beatles tribute band, teaming up with vocalist Myyri Ruokolahti, bassist Anton Elmvik, and drummer Oliver Tschernij.
The band released their debut album, Marmalade Skies, in 2022.
