" Music is a moral law, it gives a
soul to the universe, wings to the mind, a charm to sadness and life to
everything." Plato
Ken
Losell has been performing for years and worked with an early version
of Canadian country icons Prairie Oyster. Growing up in "Richmond Hill home
of the Good Brothers and CFGM, country was a large influence". In the 70's
he played with Tomcat, Captain
Courageous and other top 40 southern Ontario bands. In '84 he finished a BFA at York U
majoring in music and business. From Toronto he now lives in
Horseshoe Valley and is also involved with music therapy. The band
performs roc'n'funk'n'soul'n'blues, classic dance songs and
original material from the latest rockin' blues cd, There's A reason produced by Ken and
bassist Neil Numminen. He stills works as a solo acoustic act.
The Ken Losell Jaxx Trio is also active featuring Dr Sax, Russ Strathdee
and bass and drums.
