Super Bowl Sunday

Howdy!

It's been a while since the last update so I thought I'd write a few lines and let you know what's going on with my music & life.

Me and Tuukka Aitoaho won the award for El Gringo's Sunday Rocks best act last fall. Cheers to all of you who voted! It was a cool show and we're really proud of the award. www.elgringo.fi

The Elastic Eclectic Music junkie blog Popa's Tunes recently promoted the new JL & The Grace album Homegrown Soul. Be sure to check out this sweet music blog here: Popa's Tunes

As for now we're looking forward to getting some shows scheduled for this year. Another duo project of mine is the one I got with my longtime collaborator and friend Janne Hyöty. Last year we opened for Robbin Thompson at Ritz. On April 11th you'll have the chance to see this electric/acoustic guitar duo live again at The Doo-Bop Club in Vaasa.

Next week I'll be back in the studio again with Mr Hyöty to record a track for an upcoming project. More on this soon :-)

Another cool project that has been running on Finnish TV lately is the four-part documentary series called Från ankdamm till ökensand. It's a documentary about a road trip across the States in search of inspiration for a theater play about the Wild West. Me, Janne Hyöty and Marco Luponero wrote the music for the series and I remember we had a lot of fun doing it :-) Check out the episodes here (unfortunately only streaming in Finland): arenan.yle.fi You can also visit the show's facebook page: facebook.com

I wish you all a kick ass Super Bowl Sunday!

Ps. If you haven't already, do pick up your own vinyl or digital copy of Homegrown Soul :-)

Kuuntelussa: Rullaavaa americanaa

 

Viihde11.11.2013 7:47

Jerry Lindqvistin uutuudella bändi pääsee esiin. (Kuva: )

Pari vuotta sitten Jerry Lindqvist julkaisi komean Rivertown-levyn. Vahvasti perinnetietoista americanaa hengittänyt levy sai jatkoa lokukauussa, kun Lindqvist julkaisi The Grace-kokoonpanon kanssa Homegrown Soul -levyn.
Vaikka uusi levy eroaa melko selvästikin Rivertownista, perusasiat ovat tutut. Esimerkiksi Townes Van Zandtin ja Ryan Adamsin ystäviin Lindqvistinkin musiikin luulisi purevan.
Kantria ja americanaa sykkivä levy ei, kliseisesti ilmaistuna, kuulosta lainkaan suomalaiselta. Tämä ei ole ihme. Kun vaihtoehtokantrilla ei edelleenkään ole suuren suuria markkinoita Suomessa, pitää suunnata rohkeasti ulkomaille. Vaikka soittajat uudella levyllä ovatkin suomalaisia, on Lindqvist aiemmin tehnyt yhteistyötä muun muassa Paul Oxleyn kanssa.
Kuten levyn kannestakin käy ilmi, on Homegrown Soul edeltäjäänsä enemmän koko bändin voimin tehty...
