Ken Waldman makes his first public Moscow appearance in 20 years. Jessica Amy Cowitz opens! A fiddler with 12 CDs, a writer with 24 books, Ken Waldman combines Appalachian-style fiddle tunes, smart original poetry, and Alaska-set stories for a performance uniquely his. Past venues have included The Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, The Dodge Poetry Festival, and The Woodford Folk Festival (Queensland, Australia). Expect an evening of fun, inspiration, and surprises.
"Like a Ken Burns movie. . . . Always recommended." --Austin Chronicle
"He brings his instruments, a few fellow musicians, and his poems about surviving a plane crash (locals once called him
"a walking dead man"), watching grizzlies feed in a garbage dump, and other adventures in the forty-ninth state."
The New Yorker
". . . might tempt you to plan a road trip with a journal under one arm and a fiddle under the other."
Boston Globe
“Picture William Carlos Williams behind a dogsled. Walt Whitman jamming with the Carter Family.”
