ABOUT THE BAND:
What do you get if you combine the Finnish folk tale of The Apparition of Black Castle with the caressing winds of The American Appalachian mountains?
Black River Ghost, of course.
It was a Summer night in Helsinki, Finland. Singer/guitarist Pekko Mantzin, bassist Bryan Ugartechea and drummer Sirpa Immonen of punk’n’rollers Daggerplay walked into a party intent on causing mayhem. They found some acoustic instruments and started jamming on songs Pekko had written that didn’t suit Daggerplay.
They got together with Perttu Kesäniemi (violin), Juhis Grönlund (mandolin) and Rudy Laakso (percussion) and with an arcane sleight of hand the first line-up of Black River Ghost was born.
Black River Ghost’s music is rough, spiritual and beautiful, following the footsteps of such greats as Townes Van Zandt, Hank Williams, Rodney Crowell, Willie Nelson, Lead Belly, Johnny Cash, Steve Earle, Kris Kristofferson, Reverend Gary Davis, Nick Drake, Ralph McTell, Gary Davis and Emmylou Harris, just to name a few.
The band then entered the studio in 2022 with producer/multi-instrumentalist Bjarki Kaikumo to produce their first EP, ´Blues, Leave My Heart´. It proved to be a fruitful collaboration and it was quickly decided to start work on more tracks in the new year with the same team.
