Biography
Wigwam is a Finnish progressive rock band formed in Helsinki in 1968. With singer Jim Pembroke, organist Jukka Gustavson, bassist Pekka Pohjola and drummer Ronnie Österberg, they made classics such as 'Fairyport' and 'Nuclear Nightclub'. Österberg's death in 1980 and reunions in later decades frame a career that made Wigwam Finland's defining progressive band. Their records remain staples of Finnish rock history.
