Ken Stringfellow

Ken Stringfellow is just another one of those guys who has founded a critically acclaimed band, toured as part of both R.E.M. and Big Star, and been drawn into the pop collective known as the Minus 5. You know the type. The type that ropes you in with every new dewy note they sing and play. That’s Ken. Ken first caught the world’s attention in the early ‘90s with the Posies – one of the great power pop bands of that decade. But critics and fans weren’t the only ones who took notice. When the Posies broke up, a steady stream of the most universally cool musicians came knocking on Ken’s door. First, Alex Chilton recruited Ken to tour with Big Star, and later, he toured with R.E.M. as a backing vocalist and musician. Recently, Ken has become a steady member of Scott McCaughey’s revolving door of pop discovery -- the Minus 5. But through it all, he's never stopped crafting his own personal brand of endearing pop gems for your listening pleasure.
