ERJA LYYTINEN – THE QUEEN OF SLIDE GUITAR
Rockin' Roots Events is proud to present one of the leading blues-rock guitarists on the international touring circuit: Erja Lyytinen.
During a recording career spanning more than 20 years, the "High-Flying Finn" has released thirteen studio albums and established herself as a global force in contemporary blues-rock. Lyytinen’s musical palette is vast, inspired by the blues greats of yore while pushing the boundaries of the modern genre.
Known for her stellar and energetic live performances, Erja has shared the stage with legends like Carlos Santana, Sonny Landreth, and Jennifer Batten. Her latest studio album, Smell the Roses (2025), hit #6 on the UK IBBA charts, delivering a riff-heavy experience packed with mesmerizing slide work and epic solos that honor the hard rock sounds of the '60s and '70s.
