In guitarist Teemu Viinikainen's solo concert, the warm tones of the acoustic orchestra guitar combined with modern technology create a stunning and expansive sonic landscape, which has garnered international recognition. Expressiveness, groove, and virtuosity are central elements in Viinikainen's playing, but the predominant feelings when listening to him are a strong sense of presence, sensitivity, and the beautiful sound of the guitar.
Viinikainen's artistic achievements include being a part of the esteemed U-Street All Stars band, as well as receiving an Emma Award nomination for Best Jazz Album in 2017 with the Teemu Viinikainen III ensemble. However, perhaps one of Viinikainen's greatest accomplishments is his demand as the trusted guitarist for several top-tier bands. He has successfully performed with international luminaries such as Joe Lovano, Vince Mendoza, Randy Brecker, Dave Liebman, Tim Hagans, and Jeff "Tain" Watts.
Teemu Viinikainen released his first solo guitar album, Songs of Silence, in November 2022. The album features solo arrangements of well-known compositions by figures like Thelonious Monk and Charles Mingus, all recorded in a single take, complete with samples and loops.
