Finnish Primitive Guitar. Fingerpicked explorations on a steel stringed acoustic guitar.

I got a tip after the Niesi show that the actual sign for the border between Lapland and the manure ( aka agricultural land ) is only 18 km away in Unari. So of course I needed to make a quick detour for this.

 (Where the border has been at various times and how it has been moved and why is another question that I will look into at another time.

Next show on Thursday 17.7. at @kawano_jazz_kissa , Annis, Pori, see you there!

Field testing an OM sized 2010 Epiphone Masterbilt EF-500RANS I ordered from Biarritz, France through Reverb. I'm going to play this at tomorrow's show and maybe at the next week's too if it sounds and feels good there.

(More guitar nerd info: I ordered this guitar because the specs said that it had a 60 mm (2 3/8") string spacing at bridge, but upon measurement I found out it has the same 57 mm (2 1/4") as my trusty old Sigma SDM-18VT. Both also share 1 3/4" nut width. Very few mass market guitars in my current price range have the extra wide spacing at bridge, so I really wanted to check how that would work my right hand and metal picks.

Even with the same width Epiphone feels bit better with it's thicker V profile neck. It does lack the thunderous bass of Sigma's baked adirondack top and dreadnought body, and Epiphone also feels a lot heavier and a bit less responsive, but on the other hand the sound is more balanced and it has more midrange punch / less scoop in the mids. So it might record very well, we'll see.)

A couple of older ones, "Yhteiskunnallinen hämärä" and "Tähtitieteellinen hämärä" from Vol. 2 live at Under City, Plovdiv, Bulgaria on Monday 5.5.2025. The hazer kicks in at 0.30, looking pretty good. Uncropped 4K 16:9 video can be seen at my YouTube channel as usual.

Tämän kesän ohjelmaan kuuluu keikkailua kotikulmilla. Euroopan suurimmassa kaupungissa ei ihan kaikille huudeille pääse sporalla tai dösällä, joten täytyy ottaa väni alle ja lähteä kiertämään seuraavanlaisella aikataululla: 

Kivitaipaleen kylätalo ke 11.6.2025 klo 18.00, Perungantie 11
Niesin seurantalo la 12.7.2025 klo 13, Niesinniementie 76
Auttin kylätalo su 10.8.2025 klo 14, Koulumutka 20

Konsertit järjestää @rovaniemenkulttuuritoimisto yhteistyössä kyläyhdistysten kanssa ja Rovaniemen kylien kehittämissäätiön tukemana. Konsertteihin vapaa pääsy ja tapahtumissa on kahviot, nähdään ekan kerran huomenna Kivitaipaleella!

It's mere 11 days since I got back home and I've already unpacked most of my stuff. Here all the music  I bought, traded, got as a gift and stole this time, looking forward to having a wonderful time listenkng to these!

w./ @partakon_njihe and the organizer @joonasmiika last night, photo by @leinonenveikko . Thanks to @seminaarintaidekampus and @rauniokaupunkiry and everyone who came to hear us, not a huge crowd but quality over quantity always. 

njihe's new LP "Harakan kanssa" out now on @ultraaanirecords , @upper_class_twat_tapes and Puukotus Levyt / @koskisenlauri , limited to 200 copies so act fast. I did the mastering, haven't heard the pressing yet, but I know that the music is excellent, and so was the live presentation too.

2 new pieces in open C major called "Asgardin arkit" and "Heinähattu ja vihtahousu" from the last show of the tour last Saturday 17.5. with @ville_lare at @pethaus_ry , Tampere, Finland. Uncropped 16:9 4K video can be watched at my YouTube channel as usual.

See you tomorrow at @seminaarintaidekampus , Kajaani where me and @partakon_njihe will play at @rauniokaupunkiry 's Kuusikielinen klubi! Doors at 18, music at 19.

I got back home last night, feeling very tired but very happy, so an incredibly big thank you to each and everyone of you that made this 43 show trip possible.

Here's the stats from the Interrail app that are missing the Zagreb - Split - Dubrovnik - Kotor - Dubrovnik - Mostar - Belgrad - Pristine - Tirana - Skopje - Thessaloniki - Sofia bus rides that were unfortunately neccessary. Also missing are the flags of Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Albania and North Macedonia, so the total number of countries visited should be 18 . Other than lack of rail connections I really have no complaints, Balkans and all the other places were very welcoming and this definitely won't be the last time touring in that side of Europe.

Now I'll have some rest, hope to prepare some footage from the tour to be shared. My next show will be at @partakon_njihe 's album presentation concert on this Saturday 24.5. at @seminaarintaidekampus, Kajaani, Finland, organized by @rauniokaupunkiry . Doors at 18, music starts at 19, see you there!

I'm on Lithuanian radio, as a guest on today's episode of "Country muzikos renesansas" hosted by Algis Fedjevas on @startfm94.2 ! I'll be plugging our split compilation and sharing some trivia on history of open tunings and country blues. You can listen to it from the stream today at 16, the downloadable version will be available tomorrow.

Also tonight we're doing a show at @bolderaja , Riga, Latvia with @sinebursragde and @ktikas_ , see you there at 20!

(You may wonder how I can be on radio in Vilnius at 16 and playing in Riga at 20, but that is a trade secret of hard working travelling musicians...)

Since we'll be be doing two more release shows with @sinebursragde and @ktikas_ for the "Rubenis/ Tikas / Manner / Arn"-compilation this week to celebrate having the CDs with us, I decided to upload a live video also of the second (or really the first according to the track list, but I uploaded the second first a while ago) piece of my music on it. 

It's called Onnenkantamoinen (a finnish idiom that is a bit hard to translate to Englih, it would be something like a successful longshot maybe).

This video is from a certain kitchen in Kiedrich that has seen a lot of visiting guitarists lately, my greatest gratitude towards @phantomlimbogigs for making these visits possible. The picture has been cropped to protect the innocent, so only @freek.vreys was left (as he can't hardly be called innocent). (The normal 16:9 horizontal video can be found at my YouTube Channel.)

See you tonight at @yda_bar , Vilnius, LT, starting at around 19!

Last week of the tour starts now, with a day off in Bialystok. I hope I run into Max, I heard he's a pretty good producer and handles finances especially well, he could maybe plan a crowdfunding campaign for my next album.

The rest of the week looks like this, looking forward to all of these very much, and it's great that we get to do release shows for the CD version of the Rubenis / Tikas / Manner / Arn -comp in Latvia and Estonia too.

Tue 13.5.  @yda_bar , Vilnius, LT
Thu 15.5. @bolderaja , Riga, LV (+ @sinebursragde & @ktikas_ )
Fri 16.5. @mohriait , Pärnu, EE (+ @sinebursragde & @ktikas_ )
Sat 17.5. @pethaus_ry , Tampere, FI (+ @ville_lare)

The photo is from my show last Monday at @club_under_city_official , Plovdiv, Bulgaria, shot by @metallensxx . Huge thanks for making that happen.

See you at the shows!

@piesniarze_klub_poezja_i_muzyk last night, what a magical tiny venue, I felt really welcome playing there, and despite the throwback to the past look, the shows were also streamed on multiple platforms, so it's probably still up for viewing on their IG and FB, and coming up on Youtube today. Huge thanks to all involved!

Tonight I'll be doing a couple of sets at @chicago_bar_krakow
from 19 to 22, free entrance, see you there!
