Ken Thomson, clarinetist, saxophonist, and composer, has been involved in music since he was just a wee lad. He plays saxophone and writes for gutbucket, with whom he has toured internationally - watch out for the new record "Dry Humping the American Dream" coming out on Cantaloupe records in April. He has also played in a variety of jazz, classical chamber music and other settings, including the Collide Quartet with Peter, Jeff, and Evan; Alarm Will Sound; Seth Ginsberg's "Mad Horn Town"; and creating his own reed section in all of Stephen Jacobs' "Dirty Sock Band" recordings for children - and in their stage show where lately he's been dressing up as a car. That's right, a car.
