American jazz mandolinist who performs, writes, records, produces and teaches. Born and based in Chicago, IL.
He studied with Jethro Burns, famous comedian (Homer and Jethro) and mandolinist. His earliest professional experience was in a bluegrass band with his brother John Stiernberg in the group The Morgan Brothers and a bit later in The Jethro Burns Quartet.
The most recent of his nine recording projects is “Good Numbers”, a collection of standards and jazz tunes played by his working band, The Don Stiernberg Trio. Also released in 2016 were three online video instructional courses for Soundslice.com. The trio has performed coast to coast as well as in Germany and Brazil.
Stiernberg has appeared at events such as The Mandolin Symposium (CA), The Swannanoa Gathering (NC), Django in June (MA), Mandolin and Guitar Camp North (MA), Steve Kaufman Acoustic Camp (TN), River of the West Mandolin Camp (OR), Cape Cod Mandolin Camp (MA), Ashokan Swing Week (NY), Accademia Internacionale di Mandolino (Italy), European Mandoline Akademy (Germany) and Momento Rio Bandolim (Brazil).
