Ken Gaines
Ken Gaines is a Portland, OR area singer/songwriter, producer, and teacher who has the goal of writing great songs in just about every genre and style. "For all the great songs that have been written I belong to a wonderful tribe who believe there are a least as many great ones still to be written."

His voice has the range to cover those styles and his supple guitar work lays down arrangements instead of just chords. His lyrics are both powerful and poetic and highlight the skills of a story teller and observer of life. Formerly from Houston, TX, in 2005 he was voted Singer Songwriter of the Year by the Academy of Texas Music and in 2007 his song "Einstein's Violin" was nominated Song of the Year at the Texas Music Awards.
