A couple fiddle tunes in D that show off my new mandolin:

St. Anne's Reel (mp3 - 3.1 meg)
Angeline The Baker (mp3 - 1.9 meg)

523 is an experiment using drum loops, acoustic bass, 5-string electric mandolin with synthesizer attached, and of course the acoustic mandolin. I also popped a few other environmental noises on there. I did the mandolin tracks in one take and decided not to cover up the mistakes. It's just for fun...

Five Twenty Three (mp3 - 5 meg)

 

Reviews of "Here":

Quoted from a review by Ted Eschliman of JazzMando.Com:

"Ken Sager is a lesser known but amazing Utah-based string musician. Master at mandolin and apparently equally adept at guitar, tenor banjo & guitar, he works a fretboard like a well-seasoned pro, but where he really shines on his recent release, "Here," is his ensemble proficiency. Without a doubt a tasteful soloist, what impresses even more is the multiplied role of sideman or sidemen as he multi-tracks all the accompaniment parts in reciprocal support of his melody playing."

From Scott Tichenor of the Mandolin Cafe:

"Impressive first solo release from talented Salt Lake City, Utah resident Ken Sager."

From Milan Christi from Otterberg, Germany:

"All I can say is “Wow!” It’s a terrific piece of work. Ken’s playing all of the instruments so it’s a completely solo project. His mix of traditional and self-penned instrumentals fit together like hand in glove and showcase his highly polished musicianship on several instruments. His Arches mandolin is featured throughout and his masterful picking is complemented with lots of tasty, free-flowing guitar playing and then married up with banjo and bass in some really unique arrangements.

This album has found its place among my regularly rotated favorites – all in all it’s a completely entertaining concert."
