The success of these shows has been due to All Of You, so Fenix and I thank you all.

our friends.

Happy New Year to everyone.

The coming year will hold quite a few new events for me. Having just returned from Pendleton, OR where I played for the Inmates of the Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution as well as for the Local Music Fans at Cadillac Jacks. I have been asked to return to Pendleton this summer. I'll be playing a few weekends in Pendleton as well as all four days of the Pendleton Roundup. I'll be posting more information in the coming weeks, so stay tuned and keep checking my calendar page... Ken

October, 2007

I am happy to say that I have embarked on a new recording project with Portlands own Megan James. Megans ' vocal and songwriting style is in a class by itself. I look forward to posting some samples of her work here soon.

August, 2007
Thanks to everyone who made it out to The Queen of Hearts for my one and only show with "The Buzzmasters". It really was a lot of fun for me and I had a great night talking with all of you. Since it appears it wasn't quite as much fun for "The Buzzmasters", I've decided to put together my own project. You may notice an advertisement in the July Issue of Positively Entertainment, where I'll be announcing my upcoming auditions.

I'm still playing one or two nights each week by invitation. So check the Calendar Page often for upcoming shows, since many are rather short notice.
