Well, the first whole gig with Kasper went really good! He's in for sure! can't wait for more gigs but first more rehearsals, new songs and studio.
By the way, here's a link to a review of Sum of Memories http://grooveyardrecords.com/bengranfeltband.html
Can't really ask for anything more in a review, can you?
New photos from Germany up as well later today, check them out!

Howdy,
The GTR tour is done... I almost wish it would go on since we had a great time. I'd like to thank Jartse, Pepe, Pekka, Juuso, Anssi and Miri + of course Riku our soundguy... Well done! I know I got some new friends 'cos I sold out all my cds :-)
This upcoming saturday BGB will play the first gig with Kasper Mårtenson as a full band member! We're rehearsing new stuff and for those who come down to the Texas Bar&Grill we'll play at least 4 songs that haven't been played live before!
After the weekend we'll be in Miri's studio recording the first 2-3 new songs.
Why a keyboard player in BGB you might ask? ...well, I want more textures and also I don't want to have to fill up every little space with guitar sounds. All the new songs I've written will have keyboards and Kasper is an obvious choise since he has played with us on various jams before + he's a very relaxed nice guy.
Last sunday I saw Tommy Emanuel here in Helsinki.... what a player! Unbelivable chops but he knows when to use them and when not. He played a lot of beautiful originals and ended the concert with a fantastic version of Imagine...I was in tears! Honestly! If you like great music check him out.
That's it for now...I have to learn new lyrics for the rehearsals tomorrow.
