The Beatles in a new adaptation.
She’s Leaving Home is a Beatles Tribute band, rearranging, funkifying and playing a handful of the over 200 songs that The Beatles released on their records during the years 1962-70.
The repertoire sounds fresh and new thanks to the female lead vocalist and new, keyboard-driven arrangements of the songs. Oh, did I mention there are no guitars?
Myyri Ruokolahti (vocals) is supported by Riddo Ridberg (keyboards), Anton Elmvik (bass) and Oliver Tschernij (drums and keyboards).
The band has performed at these festivals: International Beatleweek in England (2019, 2022, 2023), Niteroi Beatle Week in Brazil (2019), Vestivity of Beatles Music in Russia (2020), Helsinki Beatles Weekend in Finland (2022), Tampere Beatles Happening in Finland (2023), Abbey Road on the River in Indiana, USA (2023), Beatles on the Beach in Florida, USA (2024), Pargas Beatles Fest, Finland (2024) & Beatles Day Mons, Belgium (2024).
Aside from their usual repertoire, which includes a diverse selection of Beatles songs, the band can also perform the entire Sgt. Pepper's album if requested.
The band is situated in Finland. At the end of 2022, Free as a Bird spent 15 weeks on the Swedish Yle Vega Top list ‘Vegatoppen’.

Some kind words from our audience.
”Helsinki BW:n kohokohta oli SLH:n upea keikka. Beatles ei ole kirkko, jonne mennään kuulemaan sanaa, vaan puutarhamultaa, josta versoo aina uusia taimia. Oli hykerryttävää kuulla uusi, jännä alku biisiin, josta ei heti tiennyt, mikä se oli. Ja odotus palkittiin!”
“The most incredible band was She’s Leaving Home. What a f***ng amazing band. This band was a gift for those who loves Beatles.”
“Fantastic band with a great sense of style and artistry!”
"Noin se mun mielestä pitääkin mennä, että piiseistä haetaan esiin jotain uutta ja erilaista."
You guys did a great gig at The Cavern. It was good to see something different from the usual cover bands.
"Wow, I am listening to the album now and you have just made my Monday morning, my week, and my life so much better!!!"
"What an amazing live-band you are!"
“I was absolutely blown away! I love every second of your show. You were definitely the best Beatles tribute at Beatleweek 2019!”
“I loved your new and fresh interpretations of the Beatles songs.”
"So good to hear someone doing something different with The Beatles music and taking it in a new direction.”
"The most talked about band at the festival! The arrangements and interpretations were fabulous."
"Very original versions. Loved this band!"
“Our musical highlight of the whole week. Totally unique take on The Beatles.”
“Lähestytte Beatlesmusaa omalla persoonallisella, tuoreella ja täysin muista poikkeavalla tavalla! Parasta antia BeatleWeek:illä pitkästä aikaan!”
"Olen nähnyt monta bändiä, mutta tämä oli kyllä huonointa mitä olen ikinä kuullut! Karseita versioita."
“Most original band at Beatles week. Amazing.”
”Ces Finlandais "groovent" avec leurs réinterprétations personnelles teintées de funky. Et la chanteuse à la voix chaude est le parfait complément de musiciens inspirés.
Bref, une magnifique découverte!”
