Honeypaw

Interdisciplinary artist Jurgita Žvinklytė and musician/luthier Matti Palonen met in 2019, and quickly discovered their cultural connection through music and story-telling.  They formed Honeypaw combining a respect for the Lithuanian sutartinė and Finnish kalevala traditions, while also reflecting the urban landscape around them in Toronto, Canada.

Here you will find their music played on traditional Finnish and Lithuanian stringed instruments, as well as in the forest played on tree harps.  To further promote their shared culture, you will also find kantele playing tutorials and other music that influences them or have charted their path for the past few years.
