Bio
Ken Bevis is a singer-songwriter who lives surrounded by nature in the beautiful Methow Valley of North central Washington. His songs are inspired by passion and insight for the natural world and a deep sense of wonder.
He watches the world and songs emerge. He remembers things felt, smelled, and lived, and music just flows. It is mysterious and fun. Songs that remind us about life, nature, experience and the joy of living. Teaching people about nature is his passion, and encouraging others to protect and cherish the natural world is his cause.
He partnered with 9 other remarkable musical friends on his two musical collecdtions; "Wanderer's Moon" (2016) and "Great Divide" (2019). Both feature unique arrangements developed by each collaborating artist and recorded in a remote cabin in the mountains of the Methow Valley. These records are unique, pleasant, and sometimes unforgettable.
Ken's songs tell stories; About Salmon, "Billy Chinook", his beautiful valley, "Methow my Home", about his house almost burning down in 2014, "Firestorm", love for his wife, "Every Woman in the World", the incredible night sky, “Spinnin' Around”. "Wanderer's Moon" is autobiographical, we have a bear's view on "True Bear", then, what is a Hummingbird like and of course, the view from this age at the "Great Divide".
Ken has written and performed in many venues, including non profit fundraisers such as the Classroom in Bloom, the Stonerose Quarry, the Audubon Society, the Sandhill Crane festival , and for many special occasions. He has collaborated with the Yakima Symphony Orchestra and particularly his friend, Jerome Bowler. He would love to work with you on a project.
Ken is an accomplished natural history educator and wildlife biologist, providing entertaining lectures on topics of environmental conservation wherever asked. Birds and Pacific Northwest forests are particular passions. He has presented many, many times over the past 30 years to meetings, banquets, classrooms and clubs across the northwest and into Canada.
Ken is fun and informative. He loves to sing and meet new people. Wisdom and experience shine through, with a hint of fun. And he hopes you like his music.
