Lead Pipe Cinch
Long time friends and jamming buddies, the talented, charming and intelligent members of Lead Pipe Cinch, Ken Allen and Jennifer Ives, have recently decided to take it up a notch and actually rehearse.
A harmonious and energetic blend of blues, folk, celtic, country and everything in between, Lead Pipe Cinch has a repertoire of original material, sprinkled with some of their favourite cover tunes from EmmyLou to Earle, Hiatt to Hank.
Ken Allen draws his inspiration from a wide variety of musical styles, Celtic, Blues, Mountain/ Old time country music, folk and rock to name a few. Ken leans heavily on a groove oriented style in his performing and writing, with a love for the driving beat. He can be found playing at festivals as half of the duo Backroads and as a solo performer.
Jennifer Ives is a self-proclaimed ” heartbreaker, mover and a shaker”, a shy, retiring kind a girl, who broke her baby teeth listening to the Vienna Boys’ Choir and Dixieland jazz, cut her first molars on Elvis, and her wisdom teeth listening to the Who, Hendrix and Joni Mitchell. Born the eldest into a family of musicians, Jives is blessed with copious talent, and the nerve to use it! Lead Pipe Cinch is a certain bet!
Marc Novoselic - Classical guitarist
My work explores the special dynamic that exists between mind and music for the composer, the performer and the listener. All good art has an elemental magic that expresses the spectrum of human emotion and makes it a special vehicle for sharing personal views on the experience of life itself. Thus music is a primal human language and the guitar is my voice. My music is cross-cultural, thought provoking and uplifting for mind, body and soul.
