Episode 29 - Kenn Kweder

from The Eremita Exchange · host Morningstar Studios

Singer-Songwriter Kenn Kweder has been a fixture of the Philly music scene for going on six decades.  And being from Philadelphia, it's no surprise that independence is one of the guiding forces behind his career path, his songwriting, his performing and his lifestyle.  He is fiercely independent.  His experience working with The Ramones, Patti Smith and Cheap Trick shows the level of his talent, but the fact that he has played in the neighborhood of 1,500 gigs at Smokey Joes, a University of Pennsylvania bar, for thirty years straight truly defines the dedication he holds to what he does as a performer. And what he delivers. Join us on this fascinating musical and life journey of "The Bard of Southstreet," one of Philly's icons, but more importantly, an iconoclast who created his own set of rules. Simplicity in life, complexity in career.  That's Kenn Kweder.
