J-P Piirainen – Twined ((Bafe’s Factory / Nordic Notes, 2017)
Twined is the new release by Finnish fingerstyle guitarist J-P Piirainen. The guitar virtuoso is deeply influenced by acoustic guitar maestros from the Celtic music scene, flamenco and American fingerpicking traditions. Piirainen adds Nordic music into the mix.
On Twined you’ll find fiery and laid back solo performances as well as various collaborations. J-P Piirainen’s guests include Venla Ilona Blom (Tuuletar) who provides her remarkably beatbox skills; kantele player Maija Kauhanen; and acoustic guitarist Petteri Sariola.
