Ken Double

Ken Double is a former radio and television sportscaster who began taking organ lessons at age eight in Chicago and went on to enjoy a 33-year broadcasting career before pursuing his passion for theatre pipe organ music full-time in 2008. Since then, he has performed concerts on historic theatre pipe organs around the world, recorded more than 20 albums, toured extensively, and served as President of the American Theatre Organ Society. He has also been involved in preserving and promoting historic theatre organs, including the famed Midmer-Losh organ at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Ken has a special connection to San Diego's Balboa Theatre, having performed at the 2021 American Theatre Organ Society Annual Convention, which led to his ongoing work with San Diego Theatres to promote and support the historic Wonder Morton pipe organ.
