Kier Byrnes has played a Belgian prison, performed for the troops in the Middle East, and toured 17 countries with his band. Kier Byrnes & The Kettle Burners blend Irish folk and traditional country — accordion, chicken-pickin' guitar, whiskey-soaked ballads, foot-stomping jigs — and have the hardware to show for it: New England and Boston Music Award wins, plus a spot on Americana UK's Top 10 for 2025. Kier joins us for a conversation about road life, roots music, and what keeps the kettle burning.
