Ken Markovic has been penning songs since his college days at Millikin.  His music is a blend of Americana, Indie Folk, Alternative rock and Pop.  He takes influence from Pete Yorn, Sam Beam, Justin Vernon, and Wesley Schultz. Ken is a school social worker and therapist. He uses music as a therapeutic tool for students, teaching coping skills, self-expression, personal reflection, emotional healing and growth.  Ken's song "Love Song," has been featured on Folk Union in Chelmsford, England and won numerous awards.   He has performed in Suburban Chicago's Got Talent and made the Top Ten.  He moved to Nashville for a year where he signed and recorded with Lower Broadway Records and has performed at such venues as Bluebird Cafe, Cafe Coco, and Tin Roof.   In August of 2017, Ken joined the late Drew Neely (of Drew Neely and The Heroes) at Thrifty Records.  Together with Drew, Violinist Dan Fearn, and Grammy Nominated artist Jenny Franck, they formed the group, "Ken Markovic and the New Poets." The band released two singles , "Waves" and "Wild Things," which can be found i-Tunes, Amazon, Pandora, Spotify, and most digital distributors.  Ken's songs weave intricate stories, rich with moral struggle, nature, tragedy, triumph, personal growth, heroism, addiction and recovery,  Buddhism, Taoism, and other spiritual elements.
