With this humorous video, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Let’s see what happens next. Take it easy, y’all!

Gotta tell you that what we, J, Antti, Juho and Timo, experienced with you all who came to see us, was something great. All the churches were full of people who really gave us that magical feeling of us doing something meaningful and new. Can’t say if it really was like that, but it sure felt good. Some moments it was almost like a rock concert…but in a church, which made the whole situation pretty freaking cool. Thank you, and it just might be safe to say by now: Merry Christmas.

J, Timo Niemistö (left), Antti Hakulinen (middle) and Juho “Mane” Kanervo  (right) just had their last rehearsal for the upcoming church tour starting on Friday. The songs found their shape’n’place on the setlist and this is something very different from any other stuff most of these guys have ever done. So, get ready Seinäjoki, Turku, Lahti, Tampere and Viiala, ’cause this is it, here we come.

Ave Maria – Joulun Klassikot has sold over 20 000 copies in Finland which entitles a platinum status. Thank you all for the support!

Raskasta Joulua has released its third album  “Raskasta Joulua” and it has the biggest line up yet. Check out more info about the album, line up and tour from www.raskastajoulua.com. J and other guys show up in their new video, “Tulkoon Joulu”. Check it out!

Many people ask where J will be next, or some are surprised that he was here or there and they didn’t know. For that info check out dragonwhite.com where you can find J, AHOLA (band) and Raskasta Joulua related information. The info regarding Christmas church concerts can be found from warnermusiclive.fi.

Monet kyselevät missä Jii esiintyy seuraavaksi, tai jotkut ovat yllättyneitä että mies oli siellä tai täällä, eikä tieto ollut heitä saavuttanut. Tietoa löytyy osoitteesta dragonwhite.com, joka pitää sisällään Jiin, AHOLAn (yhtye) ja Raskasta joulua -kiertueen keikkakalenterin. Kirkkokiertuetta koskevat tiedot löytyvät osoitteesta warnermusiclive.fi.

The rehearsals for the upcoming church concert mini tour have been going on for quite a while already, and the songs are being arranged and shaped for the special team of four. J will be accompanied by Antti Hakulinen on keyboards and Timo Niemistö on guitar. The group will be completed with a cello/bass a bit later. Some of you might already know Timo from J’s duo and band gigs. Timo and Antti also play together in a band called Anthriel, a progressive metal group. So, most of the musicians have a rock/metal backround, but when you really think about it, there’s pretty much in common with the old and grand, mostly Northern Christmas carols and the best hard rock and metal songs that can be very majestic. This one will be something special for the musicians and the audience.

Warner Music Live and J have teamed up for a special Chirstmas concert tour this year. J’s album Ave Maria – Joulun klassikot sold almost platinum (and hopefully does this year!) and this mini tour is a natural follow-up the to success of the album. J will be accompanied by  Timo Niemistö (guitar) and Antti Hakulinen (keyboards) among others.
