Ken Halsted's Music Page

Ken Halsted (and my Taylor 714ce)
Ken Halsted - Conway, Arkansas

This is my Music page. It's music I've written and recorded myself or with Mike Velte and/or other Artists. It spans a few years, many of those years being ones where I didn't understand the art of recording and it may as well have been recorded with a Mr. Microphone (that will be funny to anyone over 35 years old).

Many of these tracks are older recordings, unfinished and raw, and much of it is my newer stuff, but I'm posting what I have for my friends and family regardless of the quality or percent complete. A lot of my music hasn't been recorded, but I hope to eventually get it all up (or the good stuff at least).

No matter what, I hope this music is a blessing to anyone that listens to it. All of it has been written about the King of Kings and Lord of Lords who was, IS right now, and is to come.

Also, check out my Bloodfall Video on youtube if you get a chance.

Fellow Artists

Mike 'Madman' Velte

If you hear a song of mine that has some great lead guitar on it, it is MOST likely Mike. He is my main collaborator on the Music side of things. We've written a few song's together as well. He's the lead singer on songs like 'Praise Him with Repentance', 'Don't throw it away' and 'Crushed'. He sings some background vocals for me as well. My wife made me watch that Chick flick, 'Music and Lyrics'. As dumb as that movie was, I'd have to say that If I'm the Lyrics, He's the Music. I usually get the main music framework done, and then Mike goes in and really fine tunes it.
Mike has played for various other bands including "Bleeding Ink". He's currently playing for 'Breaking Eden'. (Breaking Eden Myspace Profile)

Kevin 'Preacher Boy' Atkinson

Kevin has been a good friend of mine for years and plays drums like nobody's business. He carries drumsticks around in his pockets, constantly thinks about drums, dreams about them, eats them for all I know. He's 'Animal' on the muppets only crazier. He paid thousands of dollars just to have his current drum shells, all cut from one single tree. Oh, and he's the Associate Pastor of our church, so you can't cuss around him. God thing I don't cuss anyway. Kevin played for a band called 'Bleeding Ink' and is now also in 'Breaking Eden' with Mike.
Eli 'MafiaGuy' Morell

From New Jersey and has the accent to boot. He's bad on bass. That means he's good, oh never mind. A great friend and his wife is on our worship Team and they just had their first baby ever. That's bad because he has procreated and he's weird, but good because his baby is somehow cute. He's on the Rhema project and 'Building Buildings'.
Nick Reeves

(Nick and Catie)
Nick is a great friend and superb drummer. He's on some of the Rhema tracks and plays some mean drums. Nick's also a fellow geek, so he gets extra props. He's a networking genius. Oh and he plays Bass too. And he's now drumming for a Band called Interstate Buffalo, so check them out!
Shawn 'Capn' Keeter

Shawn is in the National Guard and did two tours in Iraq. He's a great lead guitarist and good friend. He rides a motorcycle and flies helicopters which takes him over the top since those are both interests of mine as well. Shawn played on the Rhema album with Mike on a few songs. Listen to 'my first love', go towards the end, the dueling guitars are him and Mike. Cool stuff.
Shawn '#2' Nyman

Shawn laid the bass down on 'Who do you say I am'. Shawn plays for the worship team at Harvest Church and is a great friend. I think he could play anything with a string on it, including an old pair of shoes. He's a great lead guitarist and superb bass player.
Jason 'the Voice' Burton

Jason is the Worship Leader of our church and has thrown down his smooth vocals on a few of the tracks on the Rhema project. Jason does a superb job as worship leader and is a great friend of mine. He also plays piano (You can hear him on 'Covenant'). His wife, Amanda, a great singer, is the one that does most of the backup singing (One Mind, Word of God, Miriam's Dance, Psalms 22, etc) on my music.
