Fisher Stevenson

Fisher Stevenson wasn’t born into country music, but he found it in his late teens. For the Virginia-born and –raised journeyman musician, country music was a surprise from left field, but once he’d heard it, it took root in his music and anchored his quickly emerging songwriting.

“Music at first was an escape,” Stevenson says of his tumultuous family life and the refuge he found. “I was an outcast kid: poor, screwed up parents, the whole deal. As a kid who didn’t fit in, you tend to join subcultures. The kids listening to really intense rock and punk, well, that’s the one that seemed to offer the real truth about what was going on…”

Whether its the languid guitars melting all over the erotically-charged “Lay Your Love Down,” the wide-open marvel at one’s love that’s the roomy piano ballad “Why Me”, or the banjo-basted smoky voiced truth-in-who-I-am man treatise “Best I Can,” Stevenson evokes the best of what country music should be. If he evokes Keith Urban’s musicality, Alan Jackson’s plain spokenness and the straight-forward poetry of a Crowell or Kristofferson, it’s because Stevenson isn’t afraid of measuring up to the very best there is as he strives to define his own place.

Fisher Stevenson harvests a life, sows a future and makes everyone who hears it awful glad to be alive. Eleven songs about life’s journey are ready to be embraced by people who will hear in them their own struggles, joys, and meaningful moments.
