First single from the upcoming Soren Andersen live album.
SOREN ANDERSEN 2025 DK ALBUM PRESSE - LIVE IN THE HOMELAND
You know him well. The ubiquitous guitarist, songwriter and
producer Søren Andersen - Or Soren Andersen, as they call him outside
DK.
If you haven't heard him live with Electric Guitars or Glenn Hughes (ex Deep
Purple/Black Sabbath), then you may have heard him in P4's Take Off as a guitar quiz
master? Or seen him on You Tube in an episode of Soren's Sunday Sessions? You can
also come across him in the Medley Studio in Copenhagen where he does his daily routine.
Or even better - You've heard him at Copenhell, or at a venue in Denmark -
AND on the radio MyRock with his instrumental power trio!
Søren Andersen is a world-class guitarist/producer/songwriter, residing in
Copenhagen - when he's not on a world tour. He's one of the most used rock
guitarists in all of Scandinavia. He is – and has been – on some of the biggest stages around the world and in the company of some of the greatest musicians in the industry. Over the past 15 years, Søren has been a regular guitarist for Glenn Hughes (ex-Deep Purple) and played with Mike Tramp (ex-White Lion), Marco Mendoza & Tommy Aldridge (ex-Whitesnake / Thin Lizzy), Joe Lynn Turner (ex-Rainbow), Pretty Maids, The Dead Daisies, The Answer, Dave Mustaine (Megadeth), Eric Martin & Billy Sheehan (MR. Big), Electric Guitars, Jesper Binzer (D:A

) and Sanne Salomonsen… Add to this a lot of guest appearances with people from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Joe Bonamassa, Myles Kennedy and yes, the list could go on. There was praise from a guitar colleague after the release of “Resonate/Glenn Hughes”, on which Søren of course also plays guitar. Mega star and guitar virtuoso Joe
Satriani said the following about Søren's playing on “Resonate”:
“This guitarist is somebody I don’t know and who’s also the co-producer, Soren
Andersen. And man, he’s so good... Soren is up there with the classic guitar greats,
but Soren is totally into the future. His playing is very natural-sounding, and he
manages to perform to the songs while still putting in some crazy textures. His
choice of notes is interesting... Every time I put the record on, I go: Hey, I didn’t
hear that before.”- Big words from a true guitar legend…
But now Søren Andersen is album-wise with his first live album under his own name:
“Soren Andersen - Live In The Homeland”. We’re talking about the follow-up to his
critically acclaimed instrumental release from 2019 “Guilty Pleasures”. The album was
followed by a longer tour in trio format consisting of the man himself on guitar,
Grammy award winner Michael Gersdorff on bass and not least powerhouse
drummer Allan Tschicaja from Pretty Maids behind the drums. A little over 100 shows were made and one of them was fortunately immortalized, both in picture and sound.
On Friday, May 28, 2021 at
8:00 PM, Søren Andersen and the boys took the stage in his
hometown Fredericia, in front of a packed hall in Eksercerhuset. The cameras were rolling and
the multitrack system was a blessing on this magical evening - Because it was
namely the best show of the tour, and it was clear to the trio that it was a release
worth it after the first listen. The concert is an entertaining trip into the
instrumental guitar universe with forbidden long guitar solos, virtuoso bass
performance - And of course the classic drum solo with everything that goes with it.
In other words: Everything we LOVE. It's all delivered with an irrepressible joy of playing
and a rare energy that you only hear from top professional musicians.
Søren says: "I've rarely been as proud of something as I am of this album.
I live and breathe live music, and it's on the slant boards that it really
applies to me. That we delivered SUCH a good concert that night in my hometown, puts me in a really good mood. When I listen to the recordings I hear a trio in top form, we
were well into the tour, so I can once again see that hard work pays off in the end. Michael and Allan play like it was the last time in their lives - I couldn't
wish for a better rhythm section. It's a pleasure to play with the boys. Top-shelf musicians".
The album will be released on March 20, 2025 and will be followed by a tour in the spring of 2025.
Since the entire concert was filmed, there will also be a picture page on various
streaming services and the entire concert can be seen on
Soundmade.nu with extra content
and in HD format.
