From "way out West", and "way down South" in Utah, in the United States, there is an original Western Folk sound
experience. This is the Western Folk Trio named "LATIGO". This trio of seasoned artists, with 30+ years each of
individual music performance experience, have come together to share their artistry and interpretation of a
genuine and original folk acoustic style.These musicians have each dedicated themselves to the local
community, and to their families, and now share their joy for musical expression by performing throughout the
Western United States.
Ken Stevens brings his talents and energy to Western Folk songs in a way that makes you "proud to be a
cowboy". His experiences with many years of performance in groups and as a solo artist shine through each and
every song. The songs that he has written are heartfelt and from real-life experiences with the land in Southern
Utah. Ken's songs have won awards and acclaim by his peers in the Western Music Association and Academy
of Western Artists. Ken has written many original songs, and some are ready to be heard on the new LATIGO
album entitled "A COWBOY'S LIFE".

LATIGO CURRENT HIGHLIGHTS:
KEVAN PAUL - Fiddle, Mandolin
Kevan Paul has a unique fiddle style that defies all expectations of what fiddle players sound like. His sizzling
licks and soaring melodies always fit the mood of the song perfectly. From the traditional western folk song, to
the ripping "new-grass" styles, Kevan always shapes the song into a rich experience for the audience. His
passion is in performance, so book your LATIGO performance soon to see a master of the violin and mandolin.
Kevan has performed with groups across the country with many genres, but loves the western folk style for it's
genuine emotion and appreciation for what a violin can do to enhance the emotion of a song!
BEN ASHBY - Bass, Vocals
Ben is a tour-de-force of musicianship and performance experience. His extensive experience of performing with
successful rock and blues bands, brings the edge and energy to elevate the sound that LATIGO has been
searching for. His contribution to LATIGO has already been well received by audiences of the some of the best
