Pekka Laine leads a double life. During the day, he is a highly respected music journalist on Yle, delving deep into the world of pop culture in his popular radio programmes and TV documentaries. And then there is the other side, the guitarist and songwriter Pekka Laine, who made his solo debut, The Enchanted Guitar of Pekka Laine, in 2021. The album is an ode to a charmed instrument, the electric guitar, and its cosmic echoes.Performing to live audiences, Pekka Laine & The Enchanted is a six-man dream team whose experience and vision mingle with the passion of youth. The players’ résumés contain music from guitar pop and instrumental rock to intense jazz and experimental odds and sods. The live arrangements of Laine’s instrumental compositions offer psychedelic beach holiday vibes, thrilling scenes of the Wild West, quick trips to space, and surreal adventures. The visuals created by award-winning music video director Tommi Pietiläinen and Pekka Laine provide the cherry on top of this musical journey.Pekka Laine: guitar Tommi Pietiläinen: guitar Topias Tiheäsalo: guitar Toni Liimatta: keyboard Väinö Karjalainen: bass Mooses Kuloniemi: drumsDuration 1 h
