Timo Kahilainen, a household name in Finland and one of the driving forces behind the mega-popular Kummeli franchise, is embarking on a new venture. After decades of dominating television screens, live stages sand movie theaters with Kummeli’s TV shows, spin-offs, live performances, and feature films, Timo is set to conquer the music scene.
Ahead of his 2024 album release, Timo is dropping his debut single ”Big Wheel Turn” with his band, Just in Time. Given the massive success and fan following of Kummeli, expectations are high. The upcoming album marks Timo’s first solo foray as a musician even though he has had a successful career writing and perfoming music for the various shows and films mentioned above.
Kahilainen’s music can be described as soul and R&B -influenced jazz-rock with a variety of influences ranging from The Doobie Brothers, Eagles and Steely Dan to The Beatles.
The band Just in Time has a lineup of top notch musicians with Kahilainen himself on keys and vocals, Gilbert K on drums and vocals, Suvi Karjula on vocals, Timo Timonen on guitar and Mikko Löytty on bass.
