While most people associate the blues with the steamy bayous of Louisiana and the cotton fields of Mississippi there is also a thriving blues scene in Scandinavia. In the heart of this Nordic blues explosion is the Wentus Blues Band from the town of Kokkola in central Finland. And while the pine studded wilderness of their homeland is about as far as you can get from the juke joints of the Deep South, there’s no doubt about their musical credentials.
Established in 1986, the band has acquired a reputation as the hardest working blues band in Scandinavia and they have played over 2.000 gigs around Europe. Wentus Blues Band has toured in fourteen countries, released seven albums, done several TV-shows, headlined festivals and toured with many great bluesmen like Duke Robillard, Mick Taylor, Carey Bell and Louisiana Red, just to mention a few.
In 1993, Wentus Blues Band met Swedish blues and folk musician Pelle Lindström from Leksand, Sweden, at a gig in Sundsvall. Three years later they invited Pelle to Finland for week-long tour as a special guest with the band. Since then, Pelle has performed occasionally with the band and done tours in Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Germany. Due to the big success live, they went to the Church Garden Studios in Örnsköldsvik and recorded live some of the favourite rhythm 'n' blues songs from their repertoaire.
