Every musical / storytelling
program with Cowboy Ken is
fun, entertaining and full
of audience participation.
His endearing smile, sparkle
in his eye, his personal enthusiasm
and his experience engage and
involve his audiences right
from the start. Ken has performed
thousands of his highly acclaimed
programs for children and family
audiences throughout Southern
California at preschools, schools,
libraries, community events
and more.
Cowboy Ken’s programs
feature shows that are
a combination of songs
and
stories but he can also
provide walk-around interactive
trick
roping. His sings a wide
variety of traditional
folk songs and his stories
come
from true stories, tall
tales and folktales that
are all
part of our American Heritage.
Cowboy Ken performs with
a 12-string guitar, trick
ropes and sometimes a bull
whip, puppets and magic.
Depending on the program,
audiences will meet some
of his unique puppets which
include Lana Banana, an
orangutan; The Great White
Bear, a polar
bear cub; and Brehr Rabbit.
Audiences participate
in a variety of ways during
any of Cowboy Ken’s
performances. Sometimes
volunteers come up on stage
to help
him tell the Old West Stories,
or to participate in a
rope trick and at other
times
audiences will sing-along,
clap-along, cheer-along
or use a variety of hand
and
body movements as they
play-along to some great
traditional
folk songs as well as a
variety of original tunes.
