Ken Turley (1949-     )

Ken and Laurie Turley have been making beautiful music individually since they were kids and together for over 30 years. They write and perform their own original songs and compositions, and are fluent in light rock, jazz, blues and country as well as classical music. Laurie plays piano, guitar, viola, recorder, hand drums and sings.  Ken plays guitar, bass, mandolin, recorder, cello and sings. Both have a love of sharing and teaching music as well as creating and performing. They live in Maine with their feet planted firmly on the ground and their eyes lifted to the horizons.
