ABOUT THIS WEEK'S ARTIST:
From a childhood farm on Minnesota’s Iron Range steeped in Finish roots and SISU work ethic to stages around the world, Steven Solkela is a one-of-a-kind artist who appeals to a fanbase young and old through his versatile performances, eclectic studio recordings, and vast online presence. Whether performing solo gentle Finish ballads on an accordion, boisterous and complex arrangements as the sole member of his renowned 23-piece “Overpopulated” one-man-band, or any of his various side projects, Solkela is a once in a generation talent. Mix in comedy and a variety of stunts on the unicycle, skateboard or stilts, and his performances are sure to “wow” audiences of all ages, geographies and backgrounds.

Solkela studied Music at Rowan University in New Jersey and brought his act home to Minnesota where he’s become a true staple in the Northern Minnesota music community. He has released seven studio albums, countless music videos, and performs roughly 200 gigs per year.
