Singer-songwriter Ken Newman

  1. Singer-songwriter Ken Newman Big Blend Radio 44:05

Music has long been a powerful way to reflect the world around us, spark conversation, and inspire change. In this episode of Big Blend Radio, singer-songwriter Ken Newman discusses his thought-provoking new single, “Who Are the Bad Guys?”, exploring how music can challenge perspectives while encouraging empathy and meaningful dialogue.

Originally from San Francisco and now spending much of the year in Zihuatanejo, Mexico, Ken shares how his surroundings, life experiences, and passion for storytelling shape his songwriting. The conversation also explores creativity, authenticity, activism, community, environmental awareness, and the enduring power of small acts of kindness to make a difference.

Inspired by legendary artists like Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and David Bowie, Ken creates music that lives at the intersection of poetry, social commentary, and emotional honesty.
