We enjoy writing and producing Americana songs.  Janice's 2018 Americana album All Over The Map, her 2020 blues album Am I Blue Enough and her 2023 blues album Deep In The Domain are streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon,  Youtube and other platforms.  We appreciate you checking them out!

I am a songwriter from Finland, composing original, mostly harmless, pop songs. I'm interested in any kind of collaboration, composing, lyric writing, arrangement etc. Don't hesitate to contact me if you are interested.

I have only recently started to sing myself, so please accept deficiencies in my voice, even after lots of editing with Melodyne. I have also used hired vocalists and collaborators for vocals. There are also songs for which I have used Vocaloids, I may sing some of those at some point.

I normally use Band-In-A-Box for the arrangement. It is a great program for practicing, storing and developing ideas in many different genres. I really recommend it for you, see www.pgmusic.com

Popfinger points to the fact that I like pop music and pop songs in various styles. I've used also other pseudonyms like Syvis Entertainment, Suvis Wonderland, Dr. Elvi's Cosmic Sextet, Smutty Waters, The Artist Never Known As Prince, Gates of Asylum, Pop No Harm and Poop Dilan.

I compose songs, write lyrics and sing most of them. I don't have  'one'  style. It depends on my mood or on certain issues that are going on in our world. AND some listeners can even tell which songs are genuine 'Birchwood-songs' (!)

Vic has shared the stage with and met many great artists in all genres from The Beatles and Rolling Stones to Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash.  He is a founder member of "The Lorne Gibson Trio" and played bass for  Roger Daltrey in "The Detours" and for Roger "King of the road" Miller during the star's 1960's tour of the UK.  

His song writing began in 2010, favouring the country "outlaw" style.  
He now lives with his wife in one of the quiet backwaters of Pembrokeshire, Wales.
