I'll be spending the week in Tok, Northway, Mentasta, Dot Lake, and more.
Down the Road
Super happy to come to Fairbanks to share the new edition of the recent novel at this premier reading series. Expect an excerpt of the novel, some poems of place, some stories, and fiddle tunes.
I'll be doing a Monday workshop, then coming back on Tuesday morning for some kids' programs. And there might be some surprises too!
It's the return of the Friday Fling, the local market in downtown Palmer, and I'll be at Fireside Books most all of the afternoon with Now Entering Alaska Time, and other books to sign, and I'll have the fiddle.
I get to spend my evening at the wonderful Writer's Block in beautiful Spenard. I'm sure I'll have a friend or two joining me for fiddle tunes to go along with the poems and stories. Books and CDs will be available, and I'll be happy to sign them!
It might be 15 or 20 years since I last visited the studios at excellent KNBA.
I'll be signing books and playing fiddle at the Anchorage Museum store--I'll arrive around noon, and expect to be around for lots of the afternoon. It's the perfect way to start the long holiday weekend.
My third year at the festival!
My third year ushering in this year's first group of Road Scholars on Memorial Day evening.
Ken Waldman & The Wild Ones! I'll be assembling a fun crew for a fun time in McCarthy. I can't wait!
I'm going to make the most of my trip to McCarthy and lead a workshop and then jam session afterwards. It'll be through the wonderful Wrangell Mountains Center. We're still figuring exact time and place.
It'll be a string-band music party to celebrate Seward's First Friday for June. A few musicians from Homer and Anchorage will converge and make some fun.
Now Entering Alaska Time book release show. In addition to playing some fiddle and mandolin, I'll be reading a little bit from the recent novel, plus telling stories, sharing Alaska-set poems. Of course I'll be signing books too!
More details as I have them!
I'll be playing fiddle, reading (and reciting) poems, telling Alaska stories--and signing books--at this wonderful Valley bookstore.
My first time ever in Seldovia. Looking forward to participating in this weekend-long festival!
My first ever public event on Kodiak Island--I'll be telling about my life as an Alaska writer, featuring the new novel of course, plus the poems, plus more (including a few fiddle tunes, I'm sure). It'll kick off my time there in Kodiak, which will include a bookstore event, and coffeehouse show.
Ken Waldman & The Wild Ones will be rockin' with fiddle tunes, plus an original waltz or two. It's Forest Fair. More details as i have them.
It's Ken Waldman & The Wild Ones: high energy fiddle tunes, plus waltzes, plus more
I'll at least be making it to one fall booking conference. I expect it'll be a fly-in this time around.
