Steinar Raknes’ commissioned work for Jazzfest and Moldejazz 2020 is based on tunes and lyrics written on the road. 

In recent years Raknes has added americana, rock and blues to his musical palette, and together with his brand new genre-free band he is exploring new musical paths with groovy, dynamic and unique approach.

The band consists of some of the finest Norwegian musicians with strong individual voices. Together with Unni Wilhemlsen, Steinar did over 60 duo concerts in 2019.
