Artist History Wayne and Tina formed the Stephens in Knoxville, TN in 1992. Moved to Portland in 1995. Played hundreds of gigs in Pacific Northwest clubs as a duo and with a full electric band. We are still the best kept secret in the legend of our own minds. Just finished mixing our debut record, kitchenmusic. Will release it when we have the money. Soon.
