Kurt Stevens Celebrates The Coastal Life On Upcoming New LP 'Better With A Breeze'

Kurt Stevens will release his debut album Better with a Breeze on Sept. 4. He's previewing…

Inspired by his love of the coastal life, Stevens' new project is a glimpse into where he came from and the path that inspired his music.

" To me, life is all about the journey. Better with a Breeze is just that; a journey that winds from the coast I grew up on to the places and people I've come to love along the way. Every song on this record is a song that I’ve lived," says Stevens.

"I've always loved music that can take you somewhere, music where you close your eyes and you're instantly transported to another place, another time, somewhere the breeze off the ocean cools you down in just the right way," he continues. "Somewhere the craziness of the world was left behind at the dock, even just for a little while. Music that can take you away or maybe even help you find love somewhere in the stars."

Stevens draws inspiration from artists like Bob Marley, Jack Johnson, Jimmy Buffett and Kenny Chesney, and has previously opened for Luke Combs, Jake Owen, Maren Morris and The Band Perry, among others. His most recent releases include “Already Alright”, “Warmer Days,” “Flamingo,” “Smooth,” “Everglades,” and “Bigger Boat.” Stevens will perform at the annual Island Hopper Music Festival in Fort Myers this September.
