Response from Ken Schwartz Music:
Thanks Sandy, it was always a great time playing music for Blend of Seven Winery!
Ken's recent performance at SourcePoint was a top shelf, professional experience from beginning to end. It started with great up-front communication and continued with efficient and quick set-up, a fabulous performance, and quick tear down. Everyone left hailing the talents of Mr. Schwartz. Comments included things like, "Wow, this man is truly talented," "Not only is Ken a great musician, he expertly selected songs that showcased his vocal range," and "When will Ken be back!" Hiring Ken for your event will result in a happy clientele.
My friends and I just saw Ken Schwartz perform last week at Clydesdale Stonehaus! We’ve also watched him perform over the years. We always follow him wherever he goes! Its very worth it! Hes very talented, can play and sing a variety of music and is a joy to watch perform.
Response from Ken Schwartz Music:
Thanks LeAnn. Always enjoy seeing you and Tom when you come out to see me play!
I highly recommend Ken for any event you have planned! He was an added Bonus to our party! He has the best singing voice, amazing at guitar and took requests. Great performer and super nice guy! We will be booking Ken Schwartz again!!
Response from Ken Schwartz Music:
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a joy meeting you, your sister, her husband and all your relatives yesterday. I am glad I could be part of making your event a success!
Take care,
Ken

Great music and vocals with a variety of styles and genres.
Featuring acoustic and classic rock covers from James Taylor and John Denver, America, CSN, Neil Young, Beatles, Tom Petty and the list goes on and on. Most performances are in Central Ohio but on occasion will travel out of state. I book the show as a solo but many times my wife (and duo partner) will attend and add her wonderful vocals to the mix. We play all the songs you know and love. You will find yourself singing along and wanting to hear more.
I require access to electricity within 10 feet of the staging area. If outside, I will need sufficient overhead coverage in case of rain or sun. I can provide a pop up canopy for the performance if needed.
