Ken Peplowski

STUNNINGLY ENHANCES the EMOTIONAL CORE

“What’s in the future? “Who knows? I love all kinds of music, andI’d like to find more opportunities to bridge the gaps between different musical styles – I consider myself an interpreter of material – if something interests me, I try to put my own spin on it, without thinking or worrying about playing in any particular style. Basically, I like a challenge, I’m a sucker for a good melody, and I love playing for audiences, big or small.”
