Lyytinen‘s active presence in the international blues scene was recently highlighted by receiving the Angel of Rock Award at Britain’s HRH Festival in November 2024.

Following her successful 2024 UK tour, internationally acclaimed guitarist, and singer songwriter Erja Lyytinen will tour the UK from April 2–12, 2025. Tickets are available from – here .

Erja will perform songs from her new live CD+DVD album ‘20 Years of Blues Rock!‘, plus her back catalogue, and new songs from her forthcoming studio album released March 28, 2025.

“Last time we toured the UK was Spring 2024,” says Erja. “It was so cool to meet my friends and fans at several club and festival gigs during those two weeks. Stopping along the way to take in the breathtaking scenery in Scotland, going to tea houses and enjoying a pint or two was lovely.”

We are also releasing the live recording ‘20 Years of Blues Rock!‘ taken from my anniversary show at the legendary Tavastia Club in Helsinki during the Fall of 2023. Several of my bands and collaborators from the past 20 years were featured that night, so it’s a nice celebration of my career as a recording artist. The album will be released as a double CD/DVD package for the Christmas holidays.

‘20 Years of Blues Rock!‘ will be released Friday December 20, 2024. The album is now available to pre-order – here
