Tuomo & Markus is a Helsinki Finland based indie folk band. Founded by acclaimed Finnish soul/jazz artist Tuomo Prättälä and singer/songwriter/guitarist Markus Nordenstreng Tuomo & Markus' harmonious music has been described as Nordic Americana with jazz, soul and psychedelic influences.
Throughout their tenure, the pair have always looked to bridge the gap between psychedelia and folk-inspired soundscapes. For their second album 'Game Changing' the duo teamed up with Jonathan Wilson, best known for his production work with Father John Misty and Angel Olsen. Other contributors on the new release include jazz trumpet virtuoso Verneri Pohjola, Finnish folk artist Pekko Käppi and NYC guitar legend Marc Ribot.
Since their formation Tuomo & Markus have transformed into a stellar 6-piece live band. With the addition of Verneri Pohjola their jazz and psychedelic influences have become more and more evident, drawing the attention of critics like David Fricke who's a self-confessed fan and wrote the liner notes for the new album.
Tuomo & Markus have also recorded several 7" soul singles for Stylart/Timmion Records/DapTone under the alias Pratt & Moody.
