Finland's own "Queen of the Slide Guitar" is celebrating her 50th Birthday with a lavish live album package consisting of a double CD, a double vinyl and a full-length DVD, that was recorded at the prestigious House of Culture, known as "Kultsa" in Helsinki Finland on 21st of March 2026.
The venue House of Culture has a long tradition as a live music locale, where renowned artists from Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Queen and Slayer have performed. Erja's amazing band back her through this 90-minute-long concert full of old gems from her career. The release features songs from albums such as "Voracious Love", "Another World" and the latest studio album "Smell the Roses".
This is a heavy blues rock show with international stars. Erja brought her favorite artists to perform alongside her on the show. Swedish banjo punk/blues group Baskery featured on the song "Torn" with Erja accompanying their vocals with her guitar. Legendary bassist Sami Yaffa (Joan Jett, Hanoi Rocks, New York Dolls) joined Erja and her band on the track "One Thing I Won't Change" and you can certainly feel their energy, while they rock out to this tune that was rearranged for the event from the album "Forbidden Fruit" (2012) to celebrate life and Erja's musical skills today.
Additionally, the live album contains a concert from the "Smell the Roses" studio album release tour in October 2025. Recorded in Tempo, Mikkeli Finland, this recording has all the album songs, like "Dragonfly", the heavy "Abyss", the heart wrenching ballad "Empty Hours", huge southern-rock vibey "Wings to Fly" and in addition Erja's favorite live tracks "You Talk Dirty" and a 13-minute-long rendition of "Wedding Day". The latter was originally recorded on the album "Another World" together with slide maestro Sonny Landreth.
