Guto Konrad (Bra) with Timo Haikarainen Blues Band

A young blues guitar sensation who has become a social media phenomenon, with world stars like Joe Bonamassa and Kirk Fletcher following his work!

Are you ready for a fireworks display of guitar blues and blues-rock that you won’t forget? 22-year-old Guto Konrad is coming on his first European tour and will be performing at Kuopio’s Teerenpeli on 26.10.2025, backed by the Timo Haikarainen Blues Band, which has quickly risen to the forefront of Finnish blues.

Guto is a rising star who has amazed blues and guitar fans in his home country and on social media. His astonishingly virtuosic playing combines the energy of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan with the sophisticated note choices of B.B. King. He offers an exciting mix of power, speed, soulful feeling, and restraint. Furthermore, the young man sings beautifully, and his look and energetic stage presence radiate a natural rock star and guitar hero aura.

The supporting Timo Haikarainen Blues Band is also a refreshing combination of experience and young energy. The bass is played by Markku Vainio-Pekka, known from the band Scratch, which toured the USA. On drums is 19-year-old Iikka Korhonen, who has stunned audiences with his talent, and on guitar is Timo Haikarainen, who has quickly gained attention for his blues and roots guitar skills after a long period of silence.

You are warmly welcome!
