Iiro Rantala & Stadin Stuff is a tribute to two top bands: Stuff and Steve Gadd Gang. These bands that were influential in the 1980s and 90s and created their very own sound, which is a mix of pop, gospel and rhythm & blues. The original playing style of drummer Steve Gadd and pianist Richard Tee was the main factor behind this new sound. Stuff's musicians came to the public's attention when they worked as Paul Simon's band in the 80s.
