Daniel Lanois live in Helsinki

Experience Daniel Lanois live on September 10th

Daniel Lanois is a Canadian record producer, songwriter, and musician known for his atmospheric and evocative soundscapes. His musical style blends elements of ambient, rock, blues, and folk, often characterized by spacious arrangements, textural experimentation, and a focus on mood. He’s renowned for his work with artists like Bob Dylan, U2, Peter Gabriel, and Neil Young, shaping the sonic landscape of numerous iconic albums.

The collaborative project “Daniel Lanois With Brian Blade & Jim Wilson” showcases a more intimate and improvisational side of Lanois’s artistry. Brian Blade is a highly respected jazz drummer celebrated for his sensitivity and melodic approach to rhythm. Jim Wilson is a multi-instrumentalist proficient in guitar, banjo, mandolin and pedal steel, contributing significant texture to the ensemble's sound.

This particular iteration of the group typically performs material drawn from Lanois’s solo albums – including *Black Code* and *Heavy Weather* – alongside reimagined versions of songs from his extensive production catalog. Performances emphasize live instrumentation and a fluid interplay between the three musicians, creating a dynamic experience that departs from typical concert structures.
