Steff Kayser and Alvin Blaine

An insightful, award-winning composer and brilliant interpreter of others’ material, Tucson-based Steff Kayser offers unique and diverse performances with a soulful soaring voice and musical talents that delight the most discerning of audiences.  Most recently, Steff’s original ‘The Space Between Our Fences’ won 3rd place in the 2022 Tumbleweed Music Festival Song Contest.  He’s a finalist in this year’s 2023 Tucson Folk Festival Song Contest (winner TBD).  He also surprises with creative takes on a variety of unexpected cover tunes.

Alvin Blaine’s career took off after performing Wildwood Flower for his dad at age 5. Up to that point, Dad had prohibited the kids from playing any of his many instruments that graced the living room of Alvin’s childhood. Since then, as a multi-genre, multi-instrumentalist musician, Alvin has performed in countless bands as a treasured and skilled sideman. With 25 years in Las Vegas as a professional musician, he played everything from cowboy swing to jazz, blues, and country standards on the energized Vegas circuit honing his many skills.
