Feb. 28, 2019: Ken Gutberlet

Tonal Vision featured Ken Gutberlet as our tenth act from Mice in the Attic, Tonal Vision’s live streaming music series. Ken has been a stalwart of the Baltimore-area music scene for 20+ years – paying for beer and chocolate with cover gigs, feeding his creative side with his self-penned rootsy Americana tunes.

“Mice in the Attic” is Tonal Vision’s new multi-camera live streaming program designed to showcase the depth and breadth of Baltimore’s music scene and to give up-and-coming performers the opportunity for broader exposure. Alex Carle, the lead singer of City Line Kids, hosts the series.
