  • Cities of Sound: Kiernan Tollefson
    Jul 12 2021

    Rediscover Good Music on Cities of Sound

    In this episode we talk with someone who mastered not just 6, but 12 strings on the guitar. His unique style of finger tapping whilst holding the guitar like a cello puts him in a very special and small group of guitarists. With an EP and multiple singles out, his new album is currently under production, as Kiernan wants the world to know the Tollefson name. 

    Kiernan tells us his story, one of a boy who was bed ridden as a teenager for months, left with only an old six string and a bone to pick. His amazing journey as a composer and axe grinder led him to discover his unique style of music, one we fell in love with at Cities of Sound, and had to share with the world. 

    We begin our episode with his song "End of Days" and finish with "Forever and Always".
