Stockholm is on FIRE :) Sep 04 2010
Hey there. With such a speed it is not easy to stay on the ground :) Video shoot in the morning, even talking to some people working with press, clothes, etc etc. It is really fun to meet so many others with the same kind of action and interest. Very hard schedules but nothing that scares me off :) Hey, just so you know.. Stockholm is on FIRE right now :):) Take care out there, where ever you are... Geir

Music as in MUSIC!!! Sep 01 2010
Wow, I dont know where to start!! I came to Stockholm two days ago and I knew I would have to go to a studio and record a new song. The studio (Cosmos) was REALLY GREAT!! Emanuel Olsson did a great job and I hope that we have a chance to work together pretty soon again.

After the studio session I went together with my dear friend Janne to a birthday party I will never forget :) We where at a place called Strand, and our friend Max (who turned 50) had a lot of his music friends from around the world there. Jam sessions, great food and drinks and I even ran into my old brother Adam there :) The music they performed this night there at his party is a night I will never forget!! FANTASTIC!!

Another crazy day :) Aug 26 2010
Hey there. I got back home last night after a very cool trip to Oulo. Good meetings, food, friends and new ways to get where we want to :) Two days in the name of "brainstorming" NOT bad at all!!!

Today I have just got back from bringing my "cool dudes"to daycare. Now I am on my way to polish a bit vocally and visually my "biggest surprise" to yoy EVER :) We're getting closer my dear friends and Angels :) Lots of Love.. where ever you are ;) Geir

A few but great days :) Aug 24 2010
Hello there. During this week I will have a few but very cool days in the studio working as a songwriter for a friend of mine. We all hope that he will digg the music so keep your fingers crossed :)
Right now I am in Oulo and I will stay here two days. We went from the studio last night at two in the morning and I had to get up 6 so I feel kind of knocked out. But todays meeting was good, now out to grab a bite before heading to bed. Another tough day tomorrow before we go back home :) All the best from Oulo... Geir

Getting started again ROCKING!! Aug 17 2010
Hello dear Angels. I am back in the studio, two new songs in two days aint bad at all :) For now it is just rough ones, but lyric and melody is in place so I feel really good about it.

Today I think that YLE Radio Vega is sending the interview we did a few weeks ago. Check out 13:03, but I am not 100% shure. Sorry about that.

Safe back home :) Aug 12 2010
Hello there :) Just got back home, with all my bags and no problem :) So now it is off to pick up the kids ;) Yihaaa Geir

On a day like this :) Aug 02 2010
Hello there :) Well, this is the start of something BIG!!! This fall will be the most important time of my life so far.. And I am NOT kidding :) The very hard work that I have done lately starts to pay off :) Tomorrow I need all the BBbbbbzzz I can get.. I got the information I needed on a day like this :) I will be in the YLE studio tomorrow doing radio (Vega) and at the same time one of my songs will be recorded out there by one of my numer one bands :) Yeees :) Lots of Love from Grani... Geir

A short stop at home before I am off again :) Jul 25 2010
Hello my dear Angels :) First things first.. After a fantastic week in my hometown ending last weekend with the boat festival in Ålesund I made a quick stop at home on my way up north. The stay in Ålesund was perfect except for the weather.

In Vasa a few days later I met with Jimmy and Alex. Jimmy and I locked ourselfs into the studio and did our magic together, only getting out when we really had to :) Three days in studio and hanging with Jimmy and Alex really boosted me and my energy into the top! Tage made some very cool shots of it all and there will be coming even more from this session!!

On my way to Jakobstad My dear friend Mikki T put my new songs into the stereo and we ROCKED all the way to the City of Love. Two days there together with some of my best friends on this planet made me start laughing this morning. I told Dennis that it is a true blessing to have friends and fun like this ending our summer together.

Now I made a short stop at home just to get a bit of work done here. I will head on into the forest and a last week off now together with my family. Thank you all for the magic :) Now I have to rest before diving into some secrets for real :) Lots of Love from Grani. Geir

Great shots from Vasa :) Jul 24 2010
Check out this link from our session. Tage is KING :)

Fantastic days ROCKING in Vasa :) Jul 23 2010
Hello there :) I have been three days in Vasa this week working together with Jimmy Westerlund and Alex Ivars. It's been A LOT OF FUN and some CRAZY ROCKING DAYS!! Writing songs and recording together, the world is not enough ;) when the fun goes wild like this. I will NEVER forget this brothers, never never never :) Now I must shake off my blues and get back into Jeppo mode :) I am ready when you are :) Lots of Love from Jakobstad.. Geir

A fantastic weekend :) Jul 18 2010
Hello there. Thank you for the BBbbzz :) I got it and we made it. As I told you before, the weather here is a BIG part of my hometown. A great band, lot of fun, fantastic sound and light. There is NOTHING we could ask for, but we need the weather God to be with us!! A bit of sun but also pouring rain yesterday. But take a look at the view from my hotel room when I went to bed last night :) I am IN LOVE and I know you know why!!! BIG HUG from Ålesund, Norway... Geir

Hot like CRAZY :) Jul 17 2010
Hey there, I need something to keep me warm!! My old hometown Ålesund is a fantastic place but sometimes a bit scary.. You can get summer, winter, spring and fall all in the same day. I can't say for sure but a friend asked me yesterday.. Oh my God, is that snow?? It was just for a few seconds but I am afraid that it was.. snow!! GREAT FUN and we ROCKED to the very end!! (Together with the pouring rain)

So this morning I woke up bathing in sweat!! Not because of the hot summer weather here ;) but I am afraid that I got a bit of the summer cold.. Please send me a bit of BBbbzzz if you can, I know you do it in spirit even if you can't be here at the forum right now. To keep us all warm, I will give you a "shot" of two who where "Hot like CRAZY" :) in Sweden this week. Lots of Love from a wet but lovely Ålesund!! Geir

I hope you're all good out there? Jul 16 2010
Hey there, I am still alive :) We've had a fantasic summer together, all the kids Anna and me. A lot of fun, hot boat trips, swimming, playing football, running, darts and everything you can imagine :) I had a short stop yesterday back home in Finland just to pack my bag and go to Denmark and now finally I am here in Ålesund.

Strange to go from 32 degrees tropical summer in FINLAND/SWEDEN to get here to 12 degrees the same day and pouring rain! But it is always a lot of fun to come here and see all my old friends from way back :) "Vassendgutane" had a gig and they are really cool!! Norwegian folk-rock/country with a lot of humor :)

Today I will start doing my gigs here, singing Toto, Adam Lambert, Kings of Leon and a bit of my own stuff :) Happy happy me!! I hope you're all good out there?? Lots of Love from Ålesund, Norway.. Geir

Time to get off :) Jun 30 2010
Hello there. Summer is here and all that comes with it :) Right now I am at home with Olli And William, they have to stay at home with a bit of fever. Outside the sun is shining so it is not easy to keep my summerboys inside but they are pretty good.

I am going to the studio to put together my gig list for the trip to Norway and Finland with a few suprise songs for you ;) I have to let them spin in my mind every now and then to get them under my skin....

So now I am off and will be so pretty much until late July. I wish you all the BEST SUMMER EVER!! Time to get off, stay good and be bad :) With Love and respect.. Over and OUT FOR NOW..... Geir

Summer here I come :() Jun 20 2010
Hello there. My dear wife and kids gave me a slow start of this morning. They let me feel lika a Rock STAR for another morning untill BIG DADDY OH is back in the house:)

Last night we had a gig at Dante's Highlights downtown Helsinki. Only Bon Jovi songs on the list and a lot of fun :) really cool to see old friends in the summer night coming to see us like that :) GREAT FUN!! An extrta thanx to Suvi also for the picture.

Singing some old but GOOD favorite songs :) Jun 15 2010
Hello there, sorry that it took a while for me to write to you this time. I just got back from Oslo as you know (4 days ago) and then I had a gig in Ekenäs (Kanontian) with music/songs both with singback and live acoustic solo act so I had a lot of hours in the studio and infront of the computer to do.

And when I am away for this long then I really want to spend as much time as I can together with my family when I am back, so that is that :) I know you understand!

A lot of you write me and ask me about upcoming gigs. I will only do a few gigs this summer. My family and I need the time to recover after a year of stress with PlayMe and other gigs/recordings. So far, all I am doing is Bon Jovi tribute this weekend in Helsinki, Boat festival in Ålesund 16-17 July and Jakobstad 24th of July. I hope to see you all somwhere out there later on, but for now I want to wish you all a PERFECT SUMMER!! I will do my best to bring it to my family to ;)
With Love and respect.. from my studio :) Geir

Fantastic days in Oslo :) Jun 05 2010
Hello there, just a short one from Oslo. I have to say that Oslo is smiling at to us better then ever right now! The first few days have been ROCKING LIKE CRAZY :)

Now I will go out and smile back at the sun and enjoy even the smiling peole of this great town :) You can tell that the summer is here, everyone bring their best mood and it's a BIG SMILE that meets you day in and out. I wish you all a fantastic weekend, with Love and respect from OSLO... Geir

One BIG SMILE :) Jun 02 2010
Hello there. The sun is still shining outside my window, and now I have to go to the studio to get ready for my trip to Oslo tomorrow. I will be there about one week. I hope I will find the weather as nice as it is here in my old "hometown" two.

This morning I have been watching PlayMe on DVD for the first time and MY GOD I MISS YOU ALL!!! To be working together so close for so long leaves great memories but also a hunger for more :) I truly hope and believe that some of you will go on and keep on doing musicals. And maybe one day we will be there together again. But for now, I will move on and take care of my older dreams. I hope you will dig them to? Lots of Love and One BIG SMILE :) From the sunny side of town.. Geir

And I brought it back home... Jun 01 2010
Hey there :) I guess you know all ready! But I have to tell you any way :) I have never been working so hard in my life, under so much pressure with almost no sleep for so many days. And it was GREAT FUN!!! My problem now is that I CAN NOT TELL YOU MORE ABOUT IT!! I wish I could!!

A "long weekend" in Stockholm with sun and a lot of fun could "kill" the fact of getting home no matter where you come from. But when I woke up today here in my own bed with Oliver smiling at me and William on his way, then there is no other place on this planet that I want to be. What about the sun and fun?? Well I just brought it back home :):) Lots of Love, where ever you are... Geir

Another SUNNY DAY :) May 31 2010
Hello my dear friends :) The sun outside is just about to break down the shadows outside my hotel window and light up another GREAT DAY :) for us here in Stockholm. We have one last meeting this morning and later today I will get out to the airport and jump on my flight back home to FINLAND :) I miss my family BIG TIME!!

There is a lot to do now, I have a few but very cool gigs coming up so I have to get into the mood and start focusing on that soon. But first I have to stay one last day together with this crazy bunch!! If you are in Sweeden, Finland or Norway this summer then I am pretty shure we have a chance to "see each other" pretty soon ;) Take care out there, where ever you are. Lots of Love from Stockholm, Sweden. Over and out for now ;) Geir

I just LOVE THIS!! May 30 2010
Hello there, well what can I say??? During my time as a ESC fan I have never understood people who say that they think the contest is boring. I would LOVE to say I think yesterdays show from Oslo was FANTASTIC!! I have been a fan of ESC for as long as I remember, I think that I have seen every years finale since "1970 something". But yesterday I fell a sleep before song number 11.. WOW!!!

I am still in Stockholm and we have been working VERY HARD!! I am in the middle of this surprise that I told you about a few weeks ago. I can still not tell you what it is but this is CRAZY FUN!! So the reason for me being so knocked out yesterday and falling a sleep for the first time in my ESC history is NOT because the show was bad. I would have woken up in total panic a few years ago if this had happened then. But my dear friends, this is totally CRAZY FUN!! And I just LOVE IT!! Lots of Love from Stockholm... Geir

A short stop at home :) May 25 2010
Hello there, all the bags and our family ;) are safe back home now.
We got back home in time to see that Europe voted like sh.. again and left out Finland. But that is the way it is, I am happy for my friend Robert Wells and I know that he will have a FANTASTIC WEEK in Oslo.

I am leaving in the morning to Stockholm. I will be gone over the weekend but I hope that I can write you a few words. Lots of Love from the sunny boys and girl in Grani :) Geir

A short hello from Dubrovnic :) May 20 2010
Hello there and good morning :) Just a short hello from Dubrovnic. Anna and the kids are still sleeping and I check my mail once on this trip. We do have a wonderful time down here, and it is a FANTASTIC place. Very good food, the hotel is perfect and we have (so far ;) only good things to say about this trip..

When we come back home there will be another trip waiting for me, I am off to Sweden for a few days with very limited time and access to internet due to work. But after that (June 1:st) I hope to be back on track and that you all still have time to check in now and then for a bit of a report :) This time just a short hello from Dubrovnic :) With Love and respect to all of you.. Where ever you are :):):) Geir

With a sad feeling inside.. May 14 2010
Hello and good morning to you all. Well now we are at the last weekend of PlayMe and it is with a sad feeling inside of me. In all big producions you work hard and you get really close during the time of rehearsals and now finally show number 100 :)

We all should be very proud of what we have done and I am so happy thay they trusted me in being "the bad guy"! As you know I have never done a musical before and the acting part took a bit of time to get into and to wake up as "Zettermann" for real :) My family had to listen 24-7 but hey... Monday is our wedding day and the national day of Norway :) It should be a perfect day to kick out the "bad part" of me for good :) But it will happen With a bit of a sad feeling inside..
Lots of Love from.. Zettermann.. Geir

Here is the latest interview.. May 11 2010
Hey there, this might be cool for you to know about..

Fantastic days in Stockholm :) May 11 2010
Hello there. It is with a BIG SMILE on my face that i am now sitting out on Arlanda airport waiting for my flight back home to Finland. I admit that it has been very long days in the studio and we have done MAGIC together with no doubt in my heart :) To work together with Maestro Robert Wells is always a pleasure and he has a very cool new song coming this summer :)

To leave Stockholm now feels a bit sad, cause the weather is fantastic and I could need a stay in the sun with a cold one in my hand :) but as you might know we have PlayMe in a few hours so I have to leave the fun to others!! And to have a ROCKING MUSICAL to do together with so much great friends and talent is actually not work ;) it a very cool joyride :) With Love and respect, take care out there where ever you are.... Geir

My upside down World :) May 10 2010
Hello my dear friends. Lately my time infront of my computer has been more or less minimized. Simply too much to do, but that is the name of the game.. I have tried to keep everything rolling and I feel that I made it some how, but with a bit of a bad feeling. As you know we've had a problem with illness both in the cast in PlayMe and in our family. Nothing special, just regular small things that causes a bit of trouble in our daly life.

As you might know last weeks PlayMe ended with a smaller voice problem for me, nothing big just... No voice :) And now i am in Stockholm working in a studio. Todays work was really exciting!! I do my first session as a vocal coach and after sleeping three hours I wake up again all excited and can't get back to bed. I should sleep and i will try to do it cause I have to sing today too. I just have to tell you about my upside down World before I try to do it again :) Lots of Love and respect from Stockholm.. Geir

A short one to Stockholm. May 08 2010
Hello there. I made it with a bad voice but with a BIG HEART :) PlayMe still have a bad Zettermann but his voice did not sound like normally this weekend. Now I am trying to recover and get in shape until tomorrow :)

I am leaving for Stockholm in the morning. I have a very tight schedule so I could need some extra BBBBBbbbbbzzzzzzz :)
Working in the studio and even a surprise for you my friends on top of that :) Back in PlayMe on Tuesday :) I wish you all a FANTASTIC WEEKEND!! Lots of Love from Zettis... Geir

Just a short one :) May 04 2010
On my way to PlayMe now, got to run.. But hey....... It is SNOWING :) WOW, What is going on?? Iceland?? Anyone?? ;) Have a GREAT DAY!! Lots of Love from Grani.. Geir

On a sunny day like this :) Apr 28 2010
Hello there. I wish I had good news but hey... Spring is here and all that comes with it, William is sick staying at home with fever. I love to be here together with him, I just wish my little sunshine felt better ;( Lots of Love from Grani.. Geir
