Ken Bonfield performs at Sawyer Free Library, sharing his unique finger-style approach to guitar as part of our Local Music Showcase - Free Show!

Fingerstyle Guitarist Ken Bonfield has performed throughout the United States for over 25 years. Based in Gloucester, Massachusetts, Bonfield is a regular at guitar festivals, concert series, and acoustic venues across North America, and has released eight albums.

Although he came out of the 1960�s folk tradition, Ken was closely associated with new-age music in the mid 90's. Today his sophisticated Americana compositions feature a solid dose of Celtic, jazz, and traditional folk influences that might best be described as American Baroque.

Bonfield's work and calling is inspired by a deep love for the beauty, the sound, and the craft of the acoustic guitar. When Bonfield takes the stage the concert hall is transformed into a family room. His music and demeanor are both welcoming and heartfelt, but presented with humor and a twinkle in his eye.
