Biography

Down home music from a country boy still longing for those carefree, easy days of living in great outdoor spaces. But don't expect the music to be a bunch of 'twang. Be ready for some folk, acoustic blues, hints of bluegrass, and an occasional gospel.

This is American roots music... Americana... and truly, acoustic music from the heartland.

Steffen has been performing live since 1992 in coffeehouses, festivals, fairs and other public appearances throughout the state of Iowa; including a 6 month music adventure to Portland, Oregon in 1995. In 1994, Steffen released his first album, On & On, featuring the songs "Little Love of Mine", "Spiders Web", and "Lady November". In 1997, the Jenni Rain album was released featuring the hit title track "Jenni Rain", "Too Poor To Be Famous", and "Who was the King". Currently, Steffen continues to perform both solo and with an Iowa local-favorite band, the Home Grown Tomatoes.
