Ken Theriot is a singer and songwriter, primarily performing and recording acoustic folk (some say "alternative folk") music. Initially influenced by the likes of America, The Eagles, The Beatles, FireFall, Dan Fogelberg, Pat Benatar, The Cars, and The Who; he eventually came to love the songs of Scottish and Canadian folk musicians such as Stan Rogers, Dougie Maclean, and Archie Fisher, as well as English musicians such as Steeleye Span, Jethro Tull, and Kate Rusby. All of these influences combined to influence the songs of Ken Theriot such that they are acoustic-guitar based songs with catchy melodies and typically lots of vocal harmony.

After becoming part of the Society For Creative Anachronism (SCA: a world-wide medieval re-creation and educational group), Ken's recordings (6 albums) and performances have been primarily for the medieval and renaissance enthusiasts, mainly those in The SCA. His album, "Human History," was proclaimed "the 2nd best SCA music albums" in 2012, with Hector of the Heights claiming the top spot, by Master Liam St. Liam. His songs "Band of Brothers" and "The Feast Song" are also included in a class taught at Pennsic (the SCA's largest annual event) called "30 Essential SCA Songs."

His latest album, entitled "Outlaws and Bystanders," was released in March of 2014. Already popular from that album are the songs, "William Tell," "Robin Hood and the Beggar Knight," "Soldier of God," and "The Ride of El Cid." Read more on Last.fm.
