Ken.B.C or The KENtucky Fried Movie

As some of you may know our fearless keyboard player, Ken Maiuri, is a member of the band that provides the music for the Young At Heart Chorus. The Young At Heart Chorus is an amazing group from right here in Northampton, MA. The current performers in Young@Heart range in age from 72 to 88. There are some with prior professional theater or music experience, others who have performed extensively on the amateur level, and some who never stepped onto a stage before turning eighty.

The Young At Heart Chorus is hugely successful in Europe where they always sell out their shows. They are about to become monsters in the U.S., too thanks to a new Major Motion Picture from Fox Searchlight called simply Young At Heart. Check out the IMDB page for information, reviews, and video clips here.

So, yes, Ken is a part of the band. He joined after the film was completed but he's now embedded in the group. You want proof? Well, just check out these two shows this week and you'll see. He'll be on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, on April 16th and Ellen, the daytime talk show hosted by Ellen Degeneres, April 17th.

Our little Ken, lighting up the idiot box. It's pretty exciting. I know I'll be watching. Break a leg, Ken.
