Little something about me:

 

Bassist since 1975, still learning... 
I'm an oldschool rock player with some blues influences. 
It was somewhere in 1975, when all my friends played guitars, and then I decided to build bass guitar from my grandmothers ironing board! 
Bass was horrible, but worked fine with Sound City amp&cabin, and I still have that bass somewhere. 
Few years later I was at the same class with Pepe Ahlqvist in school, and he borrowed some great blues records to me, and I sold my soul to Blues.

In 1979 I was playing Elvis-style rock with Jorma Kääriäinen in a band: 
Freddie Falcon & V8 Band

We made two singles and one album, and about 150 gigs in 10 month in a 
Rock-a-billy Rebel Tour-79 all over Finland with Teddy&The Tigers. 


Many bands has started with me, in the 80's was Zuguway, and we made gigs many years around Lahti till early 90's.


I moved to Helsinki in 1999 and from 2006 I have played local bands like:
- Trick Bag

- Hotbones 

- The Helsinki Satellites
- Bootleg

- The Blue Rhythm Combo
- Lockdown Docs


2020 came pandemia, and we formed 100% rock band, Lockdown Docs and this band was burried with pandemia 2023.
2021 comes with a new project SKELETON HELLRAISERS.

2023 we formed new band called GROOVEHILL playing some bluesy rock'n'roll.

Let's see what comes next?  Always something will rock my world.
The Old man is down the road....still....
