Still deaf with the ringing in my ears...
Now with his new folky/singer-songwriter CD “Lost In Awe,” Ken plans to head back out to show people something new once again. Armed with an acoustic guitar, harmonica and his voice Ken will begin touring across Canada and the US starting in June of 2008.Produced by John Whynot (Bruce Cockburn, Blue Rodeo, Lucinda Williams, Colin James, Change Of Heart, Loreena McKennitt, Big Wreck and Jim Cuddy) and recorded at Blue Rodeo’s Woodshed Studios in Toronto, Ontario. "Lost in Awe" has a natural stripped down sound that was highly important for this record.
