Ken Stead and ARCHIVE at the Grand River Folk Arts Society Acoustic Saturday Nights October 10, 2009

The country- and folk-tinged songs by Wyoming (Michigan) singer-songwriter Ken Stead, a native of Canada, cover the gamut in charming, acoustic fashion: politics/social activism, love and lost love. To hear Ken Stead in performance is to be touched by truth. His depth of character and songwriting integrity emerge though his music as brightly and naturally as the rising of the sun. Audiences will not soon forget a concert experience with Ken. With a voice of velvet, his fresh and relevant lyrics will wrap around your heart and penetrate your soul.
