Fadnes Jim Stärk

Behind the stage name Fadnes is Einar S. Fadnes—best known as the frontman of Jim Stärk, where he has delivered six albums and played hundreds of concerts over more than 20 years. In 2020, he debuted as a solo artist, following up with the album The Waiting Game in spring 2023. Last year, he released two singles, and after two more singles in spring 2025, he’ll release his third solo album in September.

Fadnes’ music balances melancholy and warmth, with lyrics and melodies that touch both the heart and hope. On stage, he performs songs from his solo albums, spiced up with selected favorites from the Jim Stärk catalog. The sound is airy and dynamic, cozy and playful – carried by his distinctive, gently melancholic voice, now more mature and even more unique.

According to Klassekampen, Fadnes has “an undeniable melodic instinct” and always delivers music with a clear pop hook. At Hadeland Glassverk, he is joined by Ronny Yttrehus on guitar – and together they invite you to a truly exceptional musical experience.
