About me:

First of all , i'm an old school rock player with heavy blues influences boosted with some pop elements.....

I've always leaned on Fender style guitars , mainly Strats and Teles!!!
And tube amps like Monster El Mariachi does the thing for me!!!!

I can't read or write sheet music but i can HEAR music and that's what i'm extremely happy about.
I know a lot of players who doesn't even bother to listen to it , those guys play scales, not music....
But hey,so what!!!!!!

It's been such a great pleasure to be a part of so many great Finnish rock bands like....
Guitar Slingers , Leningrad Cowboys ,
Revolver , Hummingbird , Daavid&Goljat , CoverFreaks
Veeti Kallio Trio/Duo/Band ,
Geir Ronning (This guy is really one of the best singers on the planet....!!!) & The Lovehandles ,
Daltons , The Ronski Gang , Tipe Johnson&Vesa Kääpä Duo ,
The Alleygators....etc,etc....

I 've played on 13 records and done more than 1900 gigs all around the planet , (Big thanks to L.C for that) and of course my home country Finland is also pretty familiar to me !

Nowadays i do gigs mostly with Veeti Kallio
And the band is simply called "Veeti Kallio Band"
( Petri Hissa on drums , Mikko Vuorela on bass and Macu Siirtola on keys.....)
And we're doing some Duo& Trio gigs also with Veeti and Macu every now and then....
Some with SwampWater(Great Alt.Country/Rock band!!!)
And with Tipe Johnson & Vesa Kääpä Duo every once in a while....
.And some with The AlleyGators (Great Dr.Feelgood Cover Band!!!!!)
Some with The Ronski Gang!!!!
and that's about it.....8D

Gigging is based on weekends and i think that i'm doing about 60-80 gigs a year nowadays,which is ok.....

Even though i 've always been a sideman i'm still dreaming of my own project as a singer/songwriter/producer/musician.Hopefully it happens before i get 50....8)
