‘Sunday Child’ was originally released on the band’s 2015 album New Day Rising and has since become a live show favourite. During the band’s live performances, the anthemic sing-along sparks a special connection which is palpable in the accompanying live video that transports viewers into the heart of a Von Hertzen Brothers live show experience.

Vocalist / guitarist Mikko von Hertzen comments:

“Songs like ‘Sunday Child’ have become the heartbeat of our live shows. The reactions and excitement of the audience when we play this track is great fun to witness from the stage and, thus, we always really enjoy playing this song. We’re thrilled to bring it to the forefront as a single and share a fresh live video that encapsulates the essence of the song and its magic.“

Live at Tavastia will be released as a limited edition (1000) gatefold double vinyl LP, limited edition (1000) gatefold double CD, and on all streaming platforms.

Blu-ray and T-shirt bundles will be available exclusively through the band’s website.

Live at Tavastia is the first release since Von Hertzen Brothers‘ highly acclaimed 2022 album Red Alert in the Blue Forest, which Prog magazine described as “A masterpiece”. Von Hertzen Brothers have consistently achieved top 5 albums including three number 1s in their homeland with Love Remains the Same (2008), Stars Aligned (2011), Nine Lives (2013), New Day Rising (2015), War Is Over (2017) and Red Alert In The Blue Forest (2022).

Their ability to mould complex arrangements into vivid musical landscapes led to an Emma Award (the Finnish equivalent of a Grammy) and a Progressive Music ‘Anthem of the Year’ Award in the UK as well as nominations and plaudits along the way.

This success has made them one of the most important rock acts to have emerged from Finland in recent times. A stunning live force, the band have performed in 22 countries.

The three brothers are joined by one of Finland’s finest drummers, Sami Kuoppamäki, known for the acclaimed Finnish cult band Kingston Wall, and for performing in metal giants Apocalyptica and Stratovarius. Visionary keyboard player, Robert Engstrand, best known for his work with Turisas and the Swedish progressive band The Flower Kings completes the Von Hertzen Brothers line-up.

Next year Von Hertzen Brothers will enter the studio to record their ninth studio album, more news soon.
