Talented and easy to work with!

Ken performed at the welcome reception for my company’s conference in Mobile. Besides being an awesome musician, he has great follow through and was so easy to work with. Would definitely book him for future events.

Non profit event

Ken did a wonderful job at our work event. He arrived on time, communicated promptly and was easy to work with. He picked a good song for the vocal. I am only giving him 4 stars because he misspelt and mispronounced my name multiple times in spite of correction. Overall, his performance as a musician and guitarist was on point.

Run to book Ken for your next event!

If I could give more than five stars, I would. I booked Ken for my husband and I's Rehearsal Dinner at Wintzell's Downtown Mobile location. Ken is organized, prompt, and extremely friendly. He arrived on-time and with the little space he was given, made such an impact at our Rehearsal Dinner. People could not stop complimenting him to us and my in-laws were blown out of the water at how great Ken was the entire rehearsal dinner. He is a very talented musician :) He would be great for any event!!!!
