Ken Waldman combines Appalachian-style string-band music, original poetry, and mostly Alaska-set storytelling for a performance uniquely his. Touring full-time since 1995, he's appeared at some of North America's leading concert series, performing arts centers, festivals, colleges, and clubs. He has 9 CDs (including 2 for children), 14 books (11 full-length poetry collections, a memoir, a kids' book, and an instructional manual), and a knack for putting together shows specific to place. When he fronts one of his ever-revolving group of accompanists, it's Ken Waldman & The Wild Ones--and many of his band mates are headliners themselves. His mix of words and music has had him compared to John Hartford. He's been featured at the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, The Atlin Music and Arts Festival, the Woodford Folk Festival (Queensland, Australia), and numerous other venues.
