   About Masi Sallinen Quartet
MASI SALLINEN QUARTET was formed in 1998 in Helsinki, Finland. During this ten-year period the band has been a class act, playing clubs and festivals in Finland. The blues can be played in so many ways, and that‘s just what this band does. The lead singer MASI SALLINEN, has a deep, raw voice. MATTI KETTUNEN is the lead guitarist and the main songwriter of the band. And then the ladies: on drums MARIKA HÖST and on bass LENA LINDROOS. All four of us sing. We have made two albums. 'STRANGE BREW'-ep (Root Music 2000) and 'YEAH,YEAH,YEAH' (Rubato Music 2004) The next two are just waiting for the releases. There has also been a fine co-operation along the years with Mr. BILL SIMS , Jr., a bluesman from New York. A record together will be out...some day. Masi Sallinen Quartets future looks good: performing as well as creating music that isn‘t dependent on trends and fashions, but music honouring the roots and adding a new flavour to it. Some related projects: MASI SALLINEN BLUES DUO (acoustic swamp-blues with Masi and Matti). BAD LORNA'S BLUES(electric roots-trio with Lena, Marika and Matti).

Jon to Masi:
That's funny Masi (about the blues babies in the Sauna days of old)...great to hear from you! You are sounding fantastic here in Times Square New York, right on!
Remember always that Jon Hammond told you: "Masi, please be sure to check your pockets very carefully the next time you do the Laundry, because if you leave something in your pocket you'll get "POCKET FUNK"!:
