ARI KOIVUNEN Covers DIO, DEEP PURPLE For Charity (Video)

October 15, 2010

Finnish singer Ari Koivunen (AMORAL) took part in a charity concert called Millstones 2010 on October 13 in Helsinki. The event's goal was to raise awareness and funds for treatment for persons suffering from intoxicant addiction.

Fan-filmed video footage of Ari performing cover versions of DIO's "Don't Talk To Streangers" and DEEP PURPLE's "Smoke On The Water" (with Koivunen on drums and vocals!) can be viewed below.

Koivunen is best known as the winner of the 2007 Finnish national TV talent competition "Idols". He has released two solo albums thus far — 2007's "Fuel For The Fire" and 2008's "Becoming".

Ari's first album with AMORAL, "Show Your Colors", was released in the U.S. on June 9, 2009 through Spinefarm Records via Fontana distribution. Available in Finland since May 6, 2009, the CD was recorded at Sound Supreme Studios in Hämeenlinna, Finland.
