Hickory Ridge Concert Series: Ken Carlysle to Perform Unique Fiddle Style Music

  • Location: ISM Dickson Mounds Museum, Lewistown
  • Date: Saturday, February 21, 2009, 7:30 PM - 10:00 PM

Local musical legend Ken Carlysle comes to the Hickory Ridge Concert Series for an evening of original and country style music on guitar, banjo and fiddle. Ken's songs cover both the humorous and the touching while his playing is some of the best in the business.

For over 30 years Ken led his band "The Cadillac Cowboys", across the country performing for the President of the United States and in places as diverse as Key West, FL and New York City. Always hailed as a premier showman, Ken takes a simpler approach these days focusing on original music and instrumentals that harkens back to the early day of country music. He calls his unique fiddle style hoe-jun; part hoe down and part Cajun. Hickory Ridge host, Chris Vallillo, a former member of Ken's band during the late 70's and early 80's will join Ken for several of the songs off his soon to be released CD, Hillbilly Magic.
