Ken was very professional and engaging with our audience. His music selection was spot on with our group of seniors. We are now booking him regularly and look forward to more enjoyable music.
Ken brought our Live Cooking Show to life! The audience was super excited to have him and all of us enjoyed the live music we never had at our Live Cooking Shows.
We're hoping to have him back again and again! Thank you Ken!

Ken came to perform at our dementia care assisted living community and was very well received by the residents. He had great rapport with the audience, his music selection was appropriate and enjoyable, and he presented himself as a professional musician/entertainer. We would love to have him perform for us on a monthly basis.
“Ken was amazing to work with. He provided lots of input on what songs to consider. He also had ideas regarding timelines and what to expect if things get off track. He helped us have an amazing ceremony”
"Ken does an outstanding job of getting the crowd into the "Fun Mode" with his musical selections. A true professional. Very upbeat and communicates well with the crowd through his music. Highly recommend for any event."

For the most part, I am a self-contained show. Unless it is a "major" concert venue with an expected audience exceeding 300 attendees I have the basic equipment to perform. That being stated, Performance Stages, Special Lighting, Special FX, and Concert size sound systems are available to add to a separate booking contract and require a separate deposit and will be billed separately, due to the need to subcontract out for those services.
I currently have a running catalog of over 600+ songs of Rock, Pop, Country, R&B, Classic Standards.
The diversity of the catalog works for a wide range of Events. Contact me for a customized set list.
Most artists from Rock, Pop, Americana, Country, R&B, and Let's just say 20th century have been an influence on me. My musical journey has provided me with an amazing catalog to draw from. You name it and I will make every attempt to play it for you at your event.
Performance area should be a Clean, Dry, Hard flat surface (Small Stage is always nice). Adequate power close by. If outdoors a 10X10 Popup Canopy or Umbrellas. All sound amplification and Instruments for events up to (200 Guests) are provided by myself.
