Ari Hautala: lead guitar
A most respected gent who inspired 16 year old Anders Lewén (nowadays guitarist w. Sven Zetterberg and KnockOut Greg) greatly: "He was the best guitarist I've ever heard ... I would have loved to be able to play like Ari."

The early 90's found Ari playing Texas blues and rock à la The Fabulous Thunderbirds in the Troubleshooters outfit beside vocalist Marino Valle. A band that later on became Soulmates - but without Ari. He took a long break from the blues scene but now he is back on stage with a vengeance. [back]
