Waiting For The Daylight Tour - Europe's Queen of Slide Guitar Erja Lyytinen

Erja Lyytinen, “The Queen of Slide Guitar” has become an internationally celebrated guitarist with multiple awards and recognitions such as hitting Number 2 on Total Guitar´s “World´s Best Guitarists Now” poll, European Blues Awards “Guitarist of the Year” award and a 2022 Canadian Maple Blues Award nominee for "B.B. King International Artist of The Year".

She released her biography “The Blues Queen” including stories how she shares stages with the legends such as Carlos Santana, Dan Aykroyd, Sonny Landreth and Jennifer Batten.

Lyytinen’s musical pallet is vast, encompassing the very best of contemporary blues-rock whilst inspired and influenced by the blues greats of yore.

During 2020, with activities limited due to the lockdown, Lyytinen began to work on new ventures such as the development of her own brand of tea. She also worked on two songbooks including her most favorite songs.

Erja Lyytinen returns with "Bad Seed", the first single from the artist's self-produced new studio album Waiting For The Daylight that was released in October 2022. By her admission, this track in particular "has a fat groove and makes you want to move", says Erja. For fans of the award-winning guitarist's playing, the composition features a wonderful guitar conversation between a slide guitar and a regular guitar. It may have been three years since the release of the Erja Lyytinen's last studio album Another World, but based upon the lead single alone, it's been certainly worth the wait!
