On stage you’ll usually find Ken playing one of his trusty telecasters through
a Rivera Chubster 40 amplifier. This is his “Elvis” sound as he kicks out those James Burton licks. His setup
is very basic with just a chorus pedal and volume/wah pedal.
However, if you hear the cry of a tenor sax or a little piano riff coming from stage
and you wonder what’s going on, you’ll find that Ken has his Roland guitar synthesizer hooked up and anything
goes. This little gem sets him apart from most local players. He is able to add multiple instrument sounds to the band while
still playing guitar. No longer a novelty, guitar synths are becoming more common, but Ken’s 10 years of playing on
one have helped him develop a very distinct style with it.
