Ken Waldman has drawn on his 23 years in Alaska to produce poems, stories and fiddle tunes that combine into a performance uniquely his own. A former college professor, Waldman has had published six full-length poetry collections, a memoir, and has released seven CDs that combine old-time Appalachian-style string-band music with original poetry. Since 1994 he’s worked full-time as Alaska’s Fiddling Poet, performing at some of the nation’s leading universities, festivals, arts centers, and clubs. Over 400 of his poems and stories have appeared in such journals as Beloit Poetry Journal, Chariton Review, Quarterly West, and Yankee.

"It's hard to draw an existing parallel to describe Waldman's lyrical and musical style. Imagine, instead, if you will, traditional Appalachian fiddle tunes performed alongside poetry and storytelling - all somehow related to uniquely Alaskan experiences." -Karen Auble, Cleveland Free Times.
