ERJA LYYTINEN
Live 2026
Erja Lyytinen is one of the leading blues-rock guitarists on the international touring circuit. During a recording career spanning more than 20 years, the High-Flying Finn has released thirteen studio albums as well as several live albums. Lyytinen’s musical pallet is vast, encompassing the very best of contemporary blues-rock whilst inspired and influenced by the blues greats of yore.
Lyytinen is known for her stellar and energetic live performances. Live album ”Diamonds on the Road” (2023) received magnificent reviews from the global music media. She celebrated her 20 year career by releasing the CD/DVD “20 Years of Blues Rock!” that was recorded at the legendary Tavastia Club in Helsinki in 2023. For this spectacular event, she brought together the rhythm sections from her studio albums to date and other guest artists.
Lyytinen has been acknowledged for her work by her fans, peers, and the industry alike with a treasure trove of accolades. This includes being ranked #2 on Total Guitar Magazine’s “10 Best Guitarists Now” poll as well as being awarded “Best Guitarist” at the 2017 European Blues Awards. Erja made history by becoming the first Finnish artist to be nominated for the "BB King International Artist of the Year" at the Maple Blues Awards in Canada in 2022.
She has played alongside world-famous guitarists like Carlos Santana, Sonny Landreth, and Jennifer Batten.
The artist’s last studio album, “Smell the Roses,” was released in March 2025 and was ranked #6 on the IBBA April Charts in the UK. This riff-heavy laden album has lots of Lyytinen´s mesmerizing slide and epic solos, and she is further expanding her repertoire by honouring the hard rock sounds of the '60s and '70s. “Smell the Roses” has received praising reviews around the globe and has lifted Lyytinen among the best modern blues/rock artists of our time.
"Erja Lyytinen’s one of the best guitarists on the scene at the moment – forget male or female, forget rock or Blues – just one of the best.”
– Music News
"Smell The Roses is her heaviest, most riff-laden album to date."
– Guitarist Magazine
“Each and every song on this album is stand alone. There are no fillers. And with that the album covers a full gamut of rhythms and grooves to give anyone even remotely interested in the blues pure satisfaction. Erja Lyytinen, quite simply, proves herself to be a consummate master of the craft and this album is an absolute must.”
