Back from Germany off to Sweden!

18 November 2025

Dear Friends,

It feels like the winter is around the corner, the snow has fallen here in Vasa, Finland and the snow brings some light into this dark season. We do not have so much daylight but the snow make everything lighter and it is beautiful, even in the evening.

We did a short trip to Germany but we came home earlier than scheduled. There were things beyond our control that had us make the decision to come home and I am glad we did. We had some good days in Germany and we met with some people and made plans for our long tour next year. We are starting in Nordhorn, Germany early April and will continue in The Netherlands later in April. From there we are heading towards Nurnberg and the rest of Germany. As it looks now we are still going to tour in Germany early June so it is a monster tour but we are excited to share the good news with the people. God is opening doors we never could believe would be opened.

We also had a wonderful day at Musikhaus Thomann in Treppendorf. We sat down with Deputy Manager Daniel Krapp of the guitar department and spoke about guitars and the Harley Benton brand that I have been flying for around twelve years now.

We also loaded around 200 guitars in the bus that we are taking to Sweden next month when we are returning there for a couple of weeks. We have some events and the first one is at Kyrka 365 in Timrå, December 6th. December 7th we are in Njurunda and December 13th we have a café night at Mat & Nostalgi in Viksjö where I am going to play with Pelle Karlsson. During the days we have a huge Christmas sale on guitars and some of the guitars are also available on-line. As Sebastian is working on fixing guitars at the moment we are adding guitars to the ONLINE STORE all the time. Parts of the benefit goes towards our missionary work. Check out the ONLINE STORE.

Other than that we are making new music. This Friday we are releasing a new single in Finnish. Lyrics are written by Mikko Talso and I am delighted to have had the best musicians on board again. Thank you Rodger Carter, Mikko Rintanen, Janne Hyöty, Egon Veevo, Elna Romberg and Jani Sandvik.

Last month we released the first single with The Pelle Karlsson & Pontus J. Back Experience, The Symphony of fall. More songs are being made and this is very exciting.
