A treat for lovers of guitar-driven blues and roots music! The band, led by guitarist-singer Timo Haikarainen, plays borrowed songs and their own music with an energetic and traditional touch.
Timo Haikarainen Blues Band has risen like a steam locomotive to the forefront of Finnish blues and roots music bands. The band is led by guitarist-singer Timo Haikarainen, who has amazed audiences and fellow musicians with his energetic and virtuosic, yet traditional-conscious playing. His style has been compared to, among others, Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Ronnie Earl. The band features bassist Markku Vainio-Pekka, known from Scratch, one of the blues-rock greats of yesteryear. Behind the drum kit is the 20-year-old drum virtuoso Iikka Korhonen.
The band plays songs borrowed from BB King, T-Bone Walker, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis and Rory Gallagher, among others, as well as a wealth of material from their new, well-received "Future Prediction" album. The band is also known for its fast-paced stage show, which combines all the show elements of the roots music tradition: The guitar can be played during the evening both behind the neck or back and while spinning on the floor!
Welcome to a gig experience you won't forget!
