He has performed in the Middle East for the troops, at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, and a Johnny Cash-style gig at a Belgian prison. At a private show for Jim Beam Whiskeys in Clermont, Kentucky, Byrnes and his band were rewarded with a personal tour of the distillery by none other than the great grandson (and Master Distiller) of Jim Beam. Kier Byrnes is joined by The Kettle Burners (Jason McGorty, Joe Miller, Dan DiBacco & Brian Lilienthal); a spirited Celtic band that effortlessly merges the rootsy sounds of traditional country music with the enchanting melodies of Irish folk.
