ABOUT
Country Couple is a Finnish country duo whose roots stretch deep into the landscapes of Eastern Finland. Singer Niina Huohvanainen grew up in a small village, singing from the moment she could speak, her voice carrying her out into the world. Guitarist Sami Huohvanainen was raised in Helsinki, carrying the same eastern heritage – and a guitar in his hands since childhood.
After each living a full life of their own, their paths crossed, sparking a new shared beginning. Their music blends heartfelt storytelling with a distinctly Nordic tone, creating a sense of connection that extends beyond the stage.
For over two years, Country Couple has been hosting the Wednesday Live club in Helsinki – intimate gatherings where songs meet the stories behind them.
In autumn 2025, they will release their new single Same Side, produced in collaboration with Pasi “Stig” Siitonen, marking the start of a new chapter in their journey.
Genre: Country / Nordic Country
Based in: Finland
