ABOUT KEN...I'm a musician. I play harmonica, guitar, I sing, I write songs. When I was a kid I played in the coffee houses and nightclubs of Greenwich Village. I then moved to Nashville and played harmonica on recordings, worked for a time with guys like Marty Robbins, and played in those middle-of-nowhere honky tonks where glass gets broken on purpose. I moved back to New York in 1977.I played music in the downtown music scene, recorded with Laurie Anderson and worked in one of the earliest New Wave bands, the Love Of Life Orchestra. Phillip Glass wrote his only harmonica music for me. My background in honky tonks served me well. I also played on the great guitarist Arlen Roth's first record, and played with Andy Statman, whom I had played with when we were hotshot teenagers. Andy was just
beginning to morph into the great Klezmer and Jazz musician that he has become. I also performed with the poet Kenward Elmslie at museums and art galleries up and down the east coast. The last day I lived in New York performed with him at the Museum of Modern Art. To Ken please click HERE . PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU MENTION HARMONICA 411 IN THE SUBJECT LINE OF YOUR EMAIL.
