Steve Solkela

Steve Solkela showcases his unique brand of humor, charm, and pure musicianship in this installment of The Lighthouse Live Sessions.

Accompanied only by what he can fit onto his 7′ x 4′ piece of carpet or duct tape to one of his limbs, Steve performs a wide range of songs—from his upbeat, one-man band polka arrangements like ‘The Iron Range Rhapsody (Theme Song)’ and ‘No Obligations in the Sauna,’ to the visceral pop tune ‘Bear Trap Song,’ before concluding with a heartfelt ode to his roots in ‘I’m From Palo, Minnesota.’
