Live Music from Finland
Lauri is a Finnish musician who started out in the 90's playing bass in various finnish underground punk and rock bands. He started his journey in fingerpicking acoustic guitar in 2015 after listening to John Fahey records obsessively for years. More than 300 live shows and 4 albums later this (ex-?)punk rocker has more than enough experience to execute his ideas proficiently, but without losing the rougher edges of self-learnt musicianship and do-it-yourself spirit.
Expect lots of open tunings, driving rhythms and a deep journey into unseen worlds created by just one steel stringed acoustic guitar.
The music draws its influences from American Primitive Guitar playing, country blues of Skip James and Mississippi John Hurt and Finnish folk music. It expands the country blues form with things borrowed from different folk traditions, 20th century classical music and other inspiring sources, but doesn't require any prior knowledge from the listener, only an open mind.
