The Old Folkie, Ken Sizemore

Saturday, January 9   8:00pm
General admission.  $15.
Ken Sizemore is an "Old Folkie" who has been performing classic folk and rock music of the 50's, 60's, and 70's, all over the U.S. for over 40 years.  Ken has a repertoire of over 500 songs and wants passionately to keep the music from those exciting times of creativity and hope alive. When you attend a Ken Sizemore performance, you'll hear songs from some of the finest writers and performers of the folk era and from early rock and roll...such greats as Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Peter, Paul, and Mary, The Kingston Trio, Tom Paxton, Gordon Lightfoot, John Denver, Simon and Garfunkel, Harry Belefonte, Jim Croce, The Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly, and many, many others. You will also hear some warm, finely crafted original songs that Ken has written over the years about his friends, family, and the events that shaped his life.   Sizemore – who has opened for performers such as Peter, Paul and Mary and B.J. Thomas – accompanies himself on the guitar as he performs his own expressive interpretations of classic music and this affable and talented singer regularly takes requests from the crowd while sharing tidbits of music history and encouraging listeners to sing along. From a heart-wrenching version of the Beatles’ “Imagine” to Roger Miller’s “King of the Road,” Sizemore delights local audiences of all ages with uniquely American music that is both comforting and compelling.
