Imagine. A late afternoon in a city where the wind blows stronger than it should. The best way to defend against it, is to hear music that warms your soul, music that you can listen when you have nothing else to do. Just dim the lights and let the music breathe life to you.
Grand Manoeuvre is a group of musicians from Oulu, Finland. Producer and all-around musician Jari Niemi and vocalist Tiina Vaattovaara compose the songs with a hunger to make emotional music that grows inside you. The other members include Olli Estola on drums, Vili Mäentausta on guitar and Eero Jauhiainen ..boards.
The band describes that their influences come from various musical eras. Classical, jazz, pop/rock is a combination that leads you trough the landscapes of Grand Manoeuvre. Some fans describe this music as shoegazing pop, others might find there are elements of indierock/downtempo. The band is currently finishing their debut album that will be released later this year. So you can help us to make this Manoeuvre even bigger!
