Kier Stevens

  • The Drunken Poet 65 Peel Street West Melbourne, VIC, 3003 Australia (map)

Nestled halfway between the blues rock bombast of Ash Grunwald and the genre-mixing folk-roots wizardry of Jeff Lang, Australian steel guitarist KIER STEVENS knits together a raucous weave of hurtful hollering and gutsy guitar work that can take you from old-timey acoustic blues sounds, screaming steel solos, bung ballads, haunting ambient improvisation, and the odd choice Australian cover.

Sometimes sober listeners have variously described his original compositions as bung blues, dirty swamp rock, and even psychedelic bluegrass. KIER STEVENS is a regular fixture on the Melbourne music scene writing and performing with blues band DOGGEREL, acoustic folk-noir duo COME HEAVY SLEEP, nasty spacejazz improvisors THICKEN, and more!
