Ben Granfelt Band

Ben Granfelt Band, BGB, gets its energy from playing live gigs. The music is a pure cocktail of rhythm, melody and soul where even progressive and heavy rock music styles blend in naturally. This is rock music with a twist of blues-heavy-groovy-jamming and it just can’t get much better. BGB's 10th album Kaleidoscope takes you on a musical journey!

Ben Granfelt has a long history of playing the guitar. He started as a little boy and has since played with many famous bands (e.g. Wishbone Ash, Leningrad Cowboys). His solo band was formed in 1993 and BGB has toured clubs and festivals in Finland, UK, Germany, US, Austria and Switzerland. Ben Granfelt and his band is also highly appreciated at the Abu Dhabi and Dubai Jazz Festivals.

When Ben is not bending the Fender this father of two is very much a family man. Influenced by e.g. Gov’t Mule, Jeff Beck, Peter Frampton and Robin Trower Ben interprets daily life into music and his music becomes a painting of it all.

Drummer Miri Miettinen has played with Ben for years and on over 300 albums as a studio musician and in many bands, films and theatrical plays. He also works as a drum teacher. Bassist John "Groovemaster" Vihervä is the king of jamming! He generates the pulse of life anywhere he plays. Among other groups John has played in Stratovarius, Five Fifteen and Monsterbore. Kasper Mårtenson (keyboards) is the newest BGB member. Kasper has earlier played in Amorphis.
