Bio
Started playing guitar at twelve, soon also mandolin, harmonica and 5-string banjo. Started writing music too, and founded a jug band (with washboard and all), won some composition contests by the Finnish National Broadcast company, as a result was able to record his and his bands (now named Kra) first single. Other singles followed, LP:s too, later a CD called "Guttural Shock" (available at CDbaby).
Now a free lance musician, plays live around the Åland Islands where he moved in 2000.

Hello Stäni,
it's great to find you here too. I listened a few times to your songs here and I'm always amazed by your creativity. At first, the piece that pleases me the most is "My friend, the solar panel".
Cheers

"Even if you have heard Stäni Steinbock's music via the band KRA or some other constellation you will once more be surprised by the variety of sound and the songs recorded with a humorous seriousness on the new CD "The Runaway Kantele". Stäni, who nowadays lives on Åland has for some time played the kantele, and on the CD he presents songs where the melodic material is limited to just five notes. For variation he uses six differently tuned kanteles.
The results could have been monotonous (sorry pentatonous!) in the long run, but fortunately it's a playful and professional team of musicians on every song. Cello, violin and guitar abound, likewise the early music instrument krummhorn. The latter is played by Jonte Knif (known from the early music group Oliphant) and contributes to many a splendid sound, for instance in "Insect Adventures" or "Karjaa Seuraava" (where the sound effects are as many as they are mischievous)"

Looking at the local statistics makes me look really good!
The only artist that's keeping me from being #1 locally is Stäni Steinbock, who also lives in Godby, and, in fact IS me!
What a strange world we're living in!
Thanks to all my fans for supporting me!
