Kier Stevens is a professional lost person. If he sings and plays guitar, then why is he from Tasmania? Now he’s trying to play original music on banjo and dobro and fretless baritone guitar and mandolin and pedal steel as well.

There are also instrumental tunes performed from time to time (this means there is no singing, in case you didn’t know). If you can still remember how to read this, stop reading it. Then, call someone up and bring them to the show. Kier Stevens would like to be lost with you and then sing you a song about it.
