This week begins Poets of the Fall second leg of their celebrated 20th Anniversary Tour. For the occasion, Marko Saaresto graciously accepted to answer a few questions… again đ„°. Marko the wordsmith even during interviews… I cannot help but keep smiling at his answers. Thank you, poet!

Poets of the Fall, 20th Anniversary – Surprise Chat with Markus “Captain” Kaarlonen
You know, or maybe you donât, but I am always interested in what happens behind the curtain, especially when it comes to Poets of the Fall. I can guess the amount of work going on there before they can actually deliver the exquisite shows they do, night after night. I wish sometimes I was a little mouse, spying on whatâs going on⊠wish granted. No! I did not turn into a mouse. I had a very nice and lengthy chat with none other than the maestro, Markus Kaarlonen â aka our Captain.

Poets of the Fall Forever, 20 Years of an Amazing Musical Journey
Today – or rather the day after tomorrow – is the celebration of 20 amazing years of music masterfully offered to us on a platinum platter by Finnish rock band POETS OF THE FALL. As a writer, it is always nerve-wrecking to imagine people you admire so much reading your words. When these people are POETS OF THE FALL who, wordsmith Marko Saaresto, belongs to… well, I get nervous with all the what ifs screaming in my head… Truth be told, there are so many surprises throughout this article I could not be more please for Poets and for you, readers, fans and friends.

Ghostlight, interview with Marko Saaresto
Today I feel blessed and incredibly lucky, because today I had the honor of getting an interview with Marko Saaresto, the gifted singer and lyricist of the fabulous Finnish rock band Poets of the Fall. He took some time, in his busy schedule, to answer my spur of the moment questions. Like many of you, I have – this past week – lived vicariously through the live photos and short videos our friends posted on social media from the gigs in Germany and Prague. I have avidly read over and over Marko‘s Tour diaries and marveled at how his mind works. It takes one to know one, I suppose… not…
Larry Sandman – A conversation with the sandman himself
Today is a very special day, because today we had a long interesting and fun conversation with the amazing Larry Sandman. Larry Sandman, the creative mind behind the gorgeous single “Upside Down”, released June 3rd this year.

Jay Ray – A conversation with a very talented solo artist
Long, long overdue conversation with a very talented artist: Jay Ray. For those of you who don’t know him yet, he recorded a song with Marko Saaresto “Striven”. He is an artist to watch! Believe me, you did not wait in vain dear readers. What an interesting and inspiring life he is leading. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I am thrilled to have Jay Ray on PotF – Misfit Heart. What better way to finish the year? [Misfit] It took me a while, but I can honestly say that I am irrevocably hooked to your music. You have a very distinctive signature which gives you an authentic…
