Stephen Kent
As a globally acclaimed player of the ancient Australian Aboriginal didgeridoo, San Francisco based multi-instrumentalist/composer Stephen Kent has pioneered its use in contemporary music across the globe for over 3 decades. As a solo performer he is a virtual one-man-band, producing an extraordinary layering of sounds and grooves and creating an almost orchestral ambience with this primal instrument, accompanying himself on all kinds of shakers and hand percussion on musical journeys that travel deep into the heart of the earth. A dynamic performer and storyteller to boot he revels in inviting the audience in on the journey. www.stephenkent.net
