After 50 years on the guitar, Ben Granfelt plays new and old material – as excited as ever.

Ben Granfelt turned 60 last year and released his twenty solo album “Gratitude”, a tribute to legendary guitarists Gary Moore, Jeff Beck and Robin Trower.

"It was a huge touring year, a total of 99 gigs in Finland and Europe," Granfelt says.

This year, he will have been playing guitar for 50 years! "So either I'm fucking old or I'm a good pretty guitarist. You decide.”

Granfelt says that he has written new songs that are included in the set list. "The set list has been changed and modified so that I don’t repeat the familiar and safe atmosphere of the last few years," Granfelt says.

“A new studio album is coming out in 2025. I'm as excited as ever. Playing is the best thing in my life, and the band is in good shape. Getting better with every gig, too. There is so much freedom in this trio to jam, and that's what they do.”
