Listen Later

Ken began his calling career in a totally unexpected fashion - on a dare. Ken learned a singing call to perform at his club’s “Amateur Night”, which did not excite him. Over the next year, however, the world of square dance calling opened up. Ken has recorded for 4BarB/Quadrille and Chaparral Record labels and is currently a recording artist for Riverboat Records. Ken has been featured at festivals, weekends and conventions, and also maintains a home dancing program. Ken enjoys reaching out to the public in exhibitions. One of his biggest thrills is from conducting “one-night stands”. He loves to get novices dancing quickly and successfully. Ken’s philosophy is that all have a great time and feel they have accomplished something!
