“As a harmonica player Jantso Jokelin is quite a find. Despite his young age he plays the instrument with tons of experience and tonal richness.”
Pasi Tuominen, Blues-Finland.com
Harmonica virtuoso, performer and writer based in Finland. Jantso Jokelin is known for his wild contributions to the world of diatonic harmonica, doing pioneer work for the instrument once considered ”small”. He’s also a beatboxer, a blues guitarist, and examines all sorts of ethnic instruments and influences.
Jantso has been awarded both internationally & nationally for his musicianship. He tours extensively with Ataturk Band, one of the most influental laser-klezmer-riot-blues -orchestras to emerge from present-day Finland.
In his free time he likes to read Whitman, listen to viking metal and compare monocles with friends.
