Drums, Vocals
Background:

Ken credits his parents for first getting him involved in polka music.  His Dad had a radio polka program for many years and his parents ran many polka dances and weekends, so Ken was always around polka music in his young years.

Ken took an interest in the drums at a young age and began taking drum lessons in grammar school and played in the grammar school and high school bands.  Ken played his first job when he was 15 and has been playing polka music ever since.

Before the Maestro's Men, Ken was a member of Jackie Libera’s Classix.  Prior to the Classix, Ken spent four years as a member of the Polka Family Band and performed on their three Grammy nominated recordings.  Ken was also a member of The Brass Works.  In addition, Ken has had the pleasure of being able to perform with the Eddie Forman Orchestra, Lenny Gomulka and Chicago Push, The Boys from Baltimore, Bruno Mikos, The Ampol-Aires, Ray Jay and the Carousels, Happy Louie and Julcia, Joe Pasieka, Bud Hundenski and the Corsairs, the Brass Dimension and others.
