What "XES WHISKEY" says about Ken:

"XES WHISKEY" had the opportunity to meet with him, jam with him and hang with him... That's all it took! We thought... where the hell has this guy been hiding? We want our fans to welcome him as he's been hired to be "XES WHISKEY'S" Drummer! When you see him play, you'll see exactly what we saw in him! He's an incredible musician, a solid, solid, drummer, and does great vocals to boot! He's brought his unique style and superb musicianship to "XES WHISKEY" and we're happy to make him part of our family!

Ken responded with animated enthusiasm, "I've always loved playing classic rock music and now I have the chance to be in a band that does justice to that style of music. When I sat down to jam with them it was like we'd been playing together forever. I'm excited about this opportunity!"
