Search - Ken Lonnquist :: Earthy Songs

Animal, nature and environment songs in folk and pop styles --- fun AND educational.
Ken Lonnquist is a funny, enjoyable songwriter from Madison, Wisconsin. He began writing songs at seven, took up the guitar at twelve, and has been performing professionally since his college days at UW-Madison.
He won a national audition and traveled widely as Minstrel for the Environment, writing and performing in schools and colleges about environmental concerns. He hit the college Singer-Songwriter circuit, honing his trademark skills: improvisation and Topical Songs (heard on NPR, Air America, the CBC, Pacifica Radio). A series of acclaimed recordings for adults and children followed. Recognition from Audubon, Parents Choice, American Library Association, Booklist, Children's Music Web, Parents Guide To Children's Media and others solidified his reputation as a Family Songwriter and Entertainer.
Ken's love for Musical Theater found an outlet as composer for Children's Theater of Madison, where 15 productions of his full-scale musicals have been presented at the Madison Civic Center.
His charm and energy as a live performer remain the heart of his work.

Earthy Songs is a "dip of the toe" into Ken's vast repertoire of nature and environment songs for kids.
