Bio - Ken "Six String" Wiley
Guitar

Hi, my name is Ken, AKA "Six String Wiley". I live in Temecula Ca, and am currently a self employed plumber. I began playing music when I was 16 years old and living in Springfield, Oregon. I traded a stolen bicycle at a local pawn shop for my first guitar. It was on a blue series 10 electric that I learned my first guitar chord; the all mighty power chord! Since then I picked up tid bits of theory and skill with the frets. My biggest step in learning to play was when I bought a chord chart, and learned a few real chords. Since then I love not only playing, but also righting my own songs. I love playing music with a bluesy feel, and things that have some crunch and melody with it but really excel in finger picking. I have been in a few performing bands in the past, concentrating on covers from the 60's through the 90's. I joined Knollwit in late 2004. I have truly enjoyed the friends I have made these last few months, and really love the music we have been playing. Helping with our new songs and re-vamping the old ones have been a real great experience for me. In all my years of playing and performing, I have never been with a group of musicians like these at Knollwit.. Rob's dynamic drum work, Shannon's unbelievable bass playing, and Adrianne's unique guitar chords and changes, with her electric lyrics, makes playing with this band a great experience that I hope to be a part of for a long time. Now with the addition of Jessica and Sean, it seems to me this group can really go far. I hope all who read this and love our music will help spread the word of the Knollwit gospel and most importantly, come see us at our shows.
