Songwriter SESH YouTube Program
In early 2020 before COVID hit, Ken and Dave Fenstermacher were rehearsing in the studio. Ken had just gotten news of songwriter David Olney's unfortunate death on stage at the 30A Songwriters Festival in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. There were video cameras out for a work project and Ken decided to turn the cameras on and record a tribute to David Olney with his new bandmate Dave. They performed a couple more songs and posted on YouTube.
This began Ken's commitment to doing a show on YouTube talking to songwriters and performing together on each other's songs and covering a mutually respected songwriter's song.
​
The show is fun to do and watchers seem to enjoy the program as well.
​
June 2024, the program kicked back off after several starts and stops. Ken now records and publishes an episode nearly every month.
Next Episode: As Is
Described as "nothing short of enchanting" by All About Jazz in 2015,
AS IS is the musical union of jazz guitarist, Al Schulman and jazz vocal stylist, Stacey Lynn Schulman.
The couple - both on and off stage - have made a name for themselves for their imaginative re-expressions of 20th century song classics.
​
"There are fresh new voices emerging who throw change ups into their songbooks and adventurously and creatively pursue giving a tune its full worth.
​
Welcome to AS IS, the wife-and-husband team of the alluring, captivating vocalist Stacey Lynn Schulman and her husband, the sparking jazz guitarist, Alan Schulman." - Dan Ouellette, Downbeat Contributor
Intimate.
Innovative.
Hauntingly beautiful.
