In this episode, I’m reunited with Boston’s own Kier Byrnes of Kier Byrnes & The Kettle Burners. They’ve got a new EP out called “Moonshine & Other Spirits,” an absolutely amazing five-track collection of high-energy Americana music.

Kier and I talk about the origin of this album, which all began at an off-the-grid moonshine distillery in New Hampshire (yes, that really happened). We go into the sound of the album, as well as the great guest musicians that worked with the band.

Kier reflects on the band’s 2025, which saw a Boston Music Award win, shows in Europe and of course, new music galore.

This is part one of our talk, and be sure to check out the second episode, where we go into the business side of music.

Closing this episode out is “My Baby’s Happy,” one of songs from the EP.
