Ken's Bio, Photos and more...
Ken Massey is a Washington DC/Baltimore area guitarist, music teacher, recording
artist and producer. He is no stranger to the music business, having begun his musical
career in 1970, while still attending high school. Influenced by the music of guitarists
Andres Segovia, Wes Montgomery, B.B. King, Steve Howe and Larry Carlton, Ken
decided to study classical guitar and in 1972 began guitar lessons at the Peabody
Preparatory School in Baltimore.
Later, Ken became immersed in the world of rock guitar. He played in the bands, Hare
Trigger, Legacy and Hurricane. Ken played the lead guitar and did the arranging on Hare
Trigger’s 1995 release, Just Believe.
Ken’s constantly evolving musical tastes and appetite for musical exploration led him into
other areas as well. He has performed as a sideman with singer/songwriter Joe Warren,
with whom he recorded and toured nationally. Ken also has numerous other recording
credits on many Washington DC area studio projects.
He has performed and made a live recording of Vivaldi’s Concerto in D Major with the
Summer String Orchestra. Ken performs regularly with local vocalists Drea Lynn (in the
Pop duo Soundtrack) and Ron Coleman (in the R&B duo 2Play) as well as with his own
band The Ken Massey Group.
Recently, Ken has produced the latest record from blues legend Dicky Williams and is
watching as his own new CD, Autumn In Baltimore, receive radio airplay from places as
far away as Denmark and Reno, NV.
All of his prior experiences are rolled into his passionate work on his new CD, Autumn In
Baltimore. Superb compositions and virtuoso guitar style designed to move you and
relax you at the same time.
