Ken
has played the streets and squares since 1989. He recorded most of his
work while being on the road. He started out by playing covers, but this
gradually changed into playing his own compositions, while whirling around
and jumping all over the squares of Europe.
He
played throughout of Europe, but he has a preference for Antwerp in Belgium,
Holland, Luzern in Swiss, and Dublin in Ireland.
During this time he recorded 'Atomic Bomb Babies, and 'On The
Road'(later released as 'Freeway')
You can listen to some recordings at the 'download'
section .
He
did not go unnoticed in the media as well because of his exuberant attitude,
an attitude not much found in streetmusicians, which mostly play on save
and try to please the crowd, while Ken mainly tries to amuse. He appeared
regularly in the newspapers, including 'The Gazette van Antwerpen'and
the local Luzern papers.

He
also was able to open up as solo act on some of the bigger stages in Belgium,
like the Ancienne
Belgique in Brussels which is among the most prestigious
in Belgium.
Ken Post likes to be seen as a modern protest singer, and joins
protest marches like the 2002 Marijuana Liberation day Parade in lower
Manhattan and the 2002 anti-globalisation march in NYC.
In 1996 he started to integrate his songs
in a play named Tightrope, and organised open readings in Antwerp, Belgium,
from which a group of performers were gathered.
The first try-outs were by the end of 1999, the full version of the play
lasted 6 hours.
The play joined in the New York Fringe Festival, where some of the original
performers mixed with a local NY crew.
In 2002 he followed the Rolling Stones tour in Europe,
and played for the people lining up to get into the stadia. He filmed
the tour and made a rockumentary of this which he tries to sell to TV
stations.
