Soren Andersen delivers another high-energy performance with the new single “Beirut”, a powerful instrumental track from his upcoming album, Live In The Homeland. Recorded at a sold out show in Fredericia, Denmark, the song showcases Andersen’s masterful guitar work, blending melody, speed, and emotion in a way that will captivate fans of Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Jeff Beck.
Backed by bassist Michael Gersdorff and drummer Allan Tschicaja (Pretty Maids), this live version of “Beirut” highlights the trio’s chemistry, delivering a raw and electrifying experience. With its soaring solos and tight grooves, it’s a must-hear for lovers of instrumental rock.
Live In The Homeland will be released on March 14, 2025, via Mighty Music.
You know him well. The ubiquitous guitarist, songwriter and producer Soren Andersen. If you haven’t heard him live with Electric Guitars or Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, The Dead Daisies), then you might have seen him on YouTube 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.
Soren 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, Soren has been a regular guitarist for Glenn Hughes and played with Mike Tramp (White Lion), Marco Mendoza & Tommy Aldridge (Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy), Joe Lynn Turner (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 guest appearances with Joe Bonamassa, Myles Kennedy and yes, the list goes on.
But now Soren Andersen is album current with his first live record under his own name: Live In The Homeland. We’re talking about the follow-up to his 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, Soren 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.
“I’ve rarely been as proud of something as I am of this album”, Soren says. “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.”.
Live In The Homeland will be released on gatefold double LP (black vinyl limited to 200 copies, transparent white vinyl limited to 300), CD and digital on March 14th. Pre-orders can be placed now at this location.
