"After an astonished audience applauded for Ken Post, an American
bard living in Antwerp, Billy Bragg began...."
Het nieuwsblad March 23, 1992, Belgium
Maybe all wasn't meant to be perfect. Maybe Ken Post's intent, like poet
Arthur Rimbaud's, is the very "derangement of all the senses".
I believe that is the case. And I believe Mr. Post is successful in this
brave endeavor. With Ken Post and his passionate cast, 'Say A Prayer For
NYC'.
Theaterreview from Fringe festival about
Tightrope, August 29, 1999
Post moves among the crowd like a real ballet dancer. He simultaneously
sings loudly while he accompanies himself on his guitar. With light, frivolous
dance steps and the serious expression on his face, Ken is definitely
different from the cliche picture of the rough and tough rock star.
With his combination dance performance, Ken Post is for now unique
in the world of street theatre.
Gazet van Antwerpen Aug. 1998
This man fears nothing. Alone on the stage ,with just his guitar, he
plays intensely, subtle and colorfully(Quote: "Fetzig, fein und
farbig").Those who have heard his infamous and not always very
seriously meant rap interpretations of Beatles and Stones hits certainly
would have remembered them. Those who have seen will have known what kind
of condensed mass of eccentricity and humor await them.

"This letter is to thank you for sharing your gift of the
CDs-your tribute to Officer John Perry with us. What a moving memorial
to the courageous lives lost on Sept.11. Rest assured that your
recordings were distributed to firehouses and among the many firefighters
and officers who visit our offices every day, as well as firefighters
from across the country and around the world that have come here
since last September to share their support."

Unburied artifact-Guy Cannistra - San Francisco
"Unburied relic of a time when troubadours had more influence than
newscasters. Sage of madness, seer of much and storyteller par excellence.
His life has been a sojourn into the realm of infinite shading and mind
bending brilliance.
His energy boundless, his mastery of language and phrasing both unique
and bewitching, he stands to suffer the possible fate of those few who
choose to feel completely. Everyone should hear him. He is a link between
our misunderstood past and our unspoken future.
More powerful than a thirty minute sitcom, able to leap tall metaphors
with a single slip of the tongue.
Look, up on the stage, it’s ……………………Ken
Post"
