Greetings. My name is Ken Lasaine. The music on this page is my TRIO. I do a fair amount of studio work here in L.A. as well as freelance gigs (and a little teaching - lots of other musical examples at my personal website - kenlasaine.com). I also play regularly with Countrypolitan Band, "Ghost Town", Blues/funk/fusion extravaganza "the Atomic Sherpas", West 79th St. Band and Celtic rockers "Stand Easy".
