John McCutcheon with opener Ken Stead presented by The Nickelodeon Music Club
After teaching himself how to play a mail-order guitar John McCutcheon headed for the classroom of the eastern Kentucky coal camps, union halls, country churches, and square dance halls. His apprenticeship to many of the legendary figures of Appalachian music imbedded a love of not only home-made music, but a sense of community and rootedness. As an instrumentalist, he is a master of a multitude of traditional instruments; including fiddle, banjo, guitar, autoharp, jaw harp and most notably, the rare and beautiful hammer dulcimer. His songwriting has been hailed by critics and singers around the globe. His thirty recordings have garnered every imaginable honor
including seven Grammy nominations. His books and instructional materials have introduced budding players to the joys of their own musicality and his commitment to grassroots political organizations has put him on the front lines of many of the issues important to communities and workers.
Ken Stead has just released his brand new EP Unfinished. He writes with depth and insight and his strong voice takes his listeners on journeys we do not expect.
We are drawn into his quiet charm, his joy with life and the world around him,his faith, and hope that love and peace will always prevail. His songs reflect life's experiences, his spiritual journey and lessons learned on the road. He delivers in an uplifting and affirming manner that leaves an audience energized, connected and knowing that life is better at the end of the evening than it was at the beginning.
