Drawing comparison to singer-songwriter greats such James Taylor, Cat Stevens and Ryan Adams, Stenson has been locally recognized as the Portland Singer-Songwriter of the Year by the Portland Songwriters Association and Best Male Artist at the Portland Music Awards. On the national stage, he was hand-picked by legendary producer Don Was as a Top 10 Finalist in Guitar Center’s Great American Singer-Songwriter Search, as well as hand-selected by Adam Duritz (Counting Crows) and Ryan Spaulding to be featured in their Outlaw Roadshow Showcases (SxSW+NYC). Stenson’s music is in regular rotation on SiriusXM’s The Coffee House and can be heard on a number of Chevrolet commercials, several popular television series and opening for other prominent artists such as LeAnn Rimes, George Ezra, Chris Isaak, John Popper, Marc Cohn and more.
