Raoul Björkenheim's 40-year artist celebration tour, which started in spring 2022, will continue this fall. The guitarist's band eCsTaSy will give concerts in four more locations: Riihimäki, Salo, Jyväskylä and Vaasa on November 9–12.
Founded in 2011, eCsTaSy is one of Björkenheim's most fascinating new ensembles. In this quartet, several generations of adventurous musicians meet in wild improvisation. On eCsTaSy’s third album, Doors of Perception (Cuneiform), listeners can enjoy the playing of an experienced band that relies on their ability to take risks and lead their music to surprising areas.
