Kirby’s compositions have won awards in the International Songwriting Competition, the Billboard Song Contest and Downbeat. His music has been played on over 100 radio stations in the US and internationally, including features on NPR’s “”Here and Now””, “”Jazz with Bob Parlocha”” and “”Eric in the Evening””.

“”Steven Kirby, a guitarist of rippling technique and a poetic mind, has developed a modern jazz guitar style that bridges the angular lyricism of Pat Metheny and the painterly asceticism of Jim Hall””. – Brian Zimmerman, Editor’s Pick, DOWNBEAT”
