Welcome to the official Ken Elkinson website. Never one to rest on his laurels, Ken is happy to announce his second CD release of 2008 - Generations of Yuletide. As the name implies, Generations is Ken’s first foray into the Christmas genre. Containing 16 tracks and clocking in at over 71 minutes, the CD spans the centuries from the mid 1300’s carols to late 1900’s songs. With well known classics like “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” and “Christmas Time Is Here” (The Peanuts Song) to little known gems such as “The Star of Christmas Morning” and “Huron Carol,” Generations of Yuletide is far from the run of the mill piano Christmas albums that descend upon us at holiday time. Ken brings his own unique take, improvising on every track with a fresh approach to the Christmas music we all know and love.

Generations of Yuletide will be available in both physical CD and digital format at www.kenelkinson.com, iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, CD Baby, Best Buy and most other major music retailers.

Ken is also busy at work preparing his next new release of original material. The tentatively titled Link is due out in May 2009, and will feature 10 or 11 new solo piano compositions.

Thanks to all the fans and listeners that made Ken’s latest CD Borrowed Tracks debut at # 28 on the New Age Reporter Top 100 Radio Airplay Charts. Also, congrats to Chris King on his film “Touching Down” winning several awards at major film festivals. Ken’s song “Opal” can be heard within. Lastly, be on the lookout for Ken’s music on over 45 airlines inflight audio.

As always, you can buy all five of Ken’s prior releases Midnight Conversation, Revelry, Opal, Cue and Borrowed Tracks right here at www.kenelkinson.com as well as Amazon.com, iTunes and CD Baby. Those with savvy sleuthing skills can still find a “discounted” Opal if they know where to look. All Ken will say on the matter is that he beat Radiohead to the punch by about 4 years.
