Ben Granfelt - True Colours (2020)

The Finnish guitarist BEN GRANFELT has been one of the most virtuosic and internationally sought-after representatives of his guild for more than thirty years. The Helsinki-born musician started his career in the mid-eighties in the band GRINGOS LOCOS, before he later achieved international fame with the LENINGRAD COWBOYS, WISHBONE ASH and Finnish rock'n'roll sensation Los Bastardos FINLANDESE. Beyond that the string virtuoso, who can be heard on 38 albums today and who received the Golden Emma Guitar Award in 1997 for his song "Slapshot", also highly successful in his solo career

Now GRANFELT presents with "True Colours" (s)a brand new (eighteenth) album, on which he once again impressively proves his position as an exceptional musician by means of virtuoso string playing and excellent songwriting. Together with his band, consisting of keyboarder MIIKA AUKIO, bassist MASA MAIJANEN and drummer JARI SALMINEN, he comes up with highly atmospheric classic rock enriched with blues elements, the qualities of which you can (hopefully) convince yourself of live from October on.

He also received vocal support on the two songs "Love Or Nothing" and "Down For The Count" from BRYN JONES of the LOS BASTARDOS FINLANDESESES.
