Erja Lyytinen brings Finnish slide guitar to Rimsting

The concert starts at 8:30 PM and is scheduled to last until around 10:30 PM.
Slide guitar with international flair
Erja Lyytinen is among the leading blues rock guitarists in the international touring scene. The Finn from Kuopio combines powerful guitar sound with expressive singing, precise rhythm work, and a dynamic stage performance. Her play moves between traditional blues, classic rock, R&B, and modern hard rock influences.
Half a century full of energy
The 2026 European tour is dedicated to her 50th birthday. The specially curated program explores Lyytinen's repertoire since 2002, blending well-known songs with tracks from her album Smell the Roses and surprising titles. The album was released in 2025, reached sixth place on the British IBBA charts, and features distinctive riffs, intense slide passages, and grand guitar solos.
