Lizzie Thompson and Ken Waldman
Lizzie & Ken play old-time Appalachian-style string-band music, some Northern tunes, and lots of originals (that sound like they've been around forever).
Cellist, Lizzie Thompson, grew up playing classical music in South Carolina, began playing Celtic music six years ago in California, and now tours with Ken Waldman. Ken has nine CDs (including two for kids), fourteen books, and since 1995 has been a full-time musician, writer, educator, and performer, often touring as Alaska's Fiddling Poet. He continues to appear in a wide range of venues for a wide range of audiences, from the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage to the Woodford Folk Festival (Queensland, Australia). Together, Lizzie & Ken are committed to putting together shows that are fun, inspirational, and full of surprises--the kind they themselves enjoy going to see.
