April 8, 2025A Great Duo!!
Ken & Annette performed at our Country Club for our bi-weekly happy hour at our Country Club. We have had quite a few singing guitarists perform at our event, but Ken and Annette were by far the most engaging! Their set list was perfect for our members, and we had many, many people ask for their booking info as they were so impressed! Ken & Annette met our expectations perfectly and provided a fun, upbeat and memorable night for us! We will definitely be booking them in the future, thanks Ken & Annette!

About
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.
Additional booking notes
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.
