Stu Janis is a musician of skill and expressive sensibility. He has played music professionally since the early 1980s, and he is a performing member of several Minneapolis/St. Paul-based bands as well as a solo performer and choral accompanist around Minnesota and Wisconsin. Hammered dulcimer, concertina, bowed psaltery, and handpan sing beneath his nimble fingers. From Irish jigs to oceanic ballads to soaring choral accompaniment to Jewish klezmer, Stu's music is pure enchantment!
Stu performs for weddings, dinners, parties, corporate events, art fairs, and any event where shimmering background music would enhance the mood.
