Music Minute: Ken Wilber - Ran Out of Sky

 New York native and Country Music artist, Ken Wilber, has announced the release of his long awaited, twenty song album, Ran Out of Sky which was produced by multi-award winning songwriter and artist, Sonny LeMaire of the group Exile. The project was recorded by Ryan Younts and Tony Cottrill at Oceanway Nashville, engineered and mixed by Tony Cottrill at The DAWg Houze in Hendersonville, TN and mastered by Benny Quinn. Ran Out of Sky is available on digital music platforms Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon Music, Pandora, YouTube Music and more for streaming and download here.

This album has really been a labor of love for all who were involved with the project.  The 20 songs included explore several different styles of country music as Ken’s team wanted to record songs that explore common themes, but each had a different sound.  The title cut "Ran out of Sky" talks about a relationship ending unexpectedly as there are things in life that we feel are infinite and will always be there, then when it runs its course, we are left surprised and wondering why. The majority of the songs on this record are about love and relationships, and they are covered extensively from cradle to grave. By no means is this a sad album, as it covers the feelings of being newly in love, suffering loss and break-ups and finding new love. Most people will be able to identify with the songs in this record, as everyone out there has been in love, and has had it fall apart, only to come out stronger in the end.  

Ken’s music is available on Spotify, Apple Music YouTube Music, Pandora, Amazon Music and iTunes.

About Ken Wilber:
Ken Wilber was born in Oneonta, NY on October 29th, 1980. His earliest musical influences were Conway Twitty, Merle Haggard, George Jones and Johnny Cash. His family remembers him at a young age staring at the records as they played, trying to understand the music he heard. Ken learned to sing by trying to emulate the people he heard on the recordings and would keep at it, until he could copy every little inflection of the vocal performance. In high school, Ken discovered his second love, theater. He made his theatrical debut at the age of 14 in a high school production of “Fame.”  The band Fly By Nite was formed with Ken as lead singer, where they played locally every weekend at a local watering hole called “Babcocks.”  Fly by Nite played together for a little over ten years, before dissolving in 2012. Ken Also sang with the southern rock Group J.D. Mistress.  Ken was brought in by guitar player Rich Rogers.  He played with them for about six months, where they played several dates locally and had the opportunity to open for Molly Hatchet and Blackfoot in Albany, NY. After Fly By Nite dissolved, Ken and Kerry Fallot set out to begin writing and arranging music for Ken’s first album “Rollin’ My Own,” and the album was completed in 2017. Ken had the opportunity to play country music Legend Hank Williams in a local theatrical production of “Hank Williams: Lost Highway.”  Tony Cottrill mastered the first project and shortly after the mastering was completed, Tony contacted Ken to come to Nashville to record a demo session for Sonny LeMaire of Exile fame. As a result of the demo sessions, Ken decided to record his second album in Nashville in October 2018. Ran Out of Sky, the current project released by Ken Wilber was recorded in Nashville, TN at Ocean Way studio.
