Jaakko Heinonen Band

About Me

Jaakko "Jaska" Heinonen from Lahti was one of the founding members of Chicago Overcoat - band which was in the middle of so called Finnish blues boom in the late 1970's and early 80's. His reputation in Scandinavia and Europe is based on his lead guitar work in J. Leino & Blues Guys. Jaakko Heinonen has got a specially hand-made band which consists his old friend Mr. Kulluvaara from the Blues Guys and tough & experienced rhytmn section from Helsinki. The band performs both Mr. Heinonen's original material (like here on myspace) as well as some covers by bluesmen like Albert and B.B. King. Band will release their first album "Can't Complain"on Hila Records in May 2009. Management & booking info: visit band website!
