Bio:
Ken Waldman has drawn on 38 years as an Alaska resident to produce poems, stories, and fiddle tunes that combine into a performance uniquely his. 12 CDs mix Appalachian-style string-band music with original poetry. 20 books include 16 poetry collections, a memoir, a children’s book, a creative writing manual, and an Alaska-set novel.
Lydia Garrison, long-time Ithaca resident, plays banjo, fiddle, guitar, writes songs, sings, and makes it all fun and inspirational.
Their Auburn visit is part of a January tour that includes dates in New York City, Binghamton, and more. For more information about Ken & Lydia visit: www.kenwaldman.com/ken-waldman-lydia-garrison.
This event is funded in part by Poets & Writers with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
