LISTEN HERE: Ken Stead in Trouble

If you’ve got trouble, wait, don’t run! This kind of trouble is lots of fun!

This familiar commercial for the old board game may offer insight into the mindset of local singer-songwriter-rocker Ken Stead when he wrote a song called Trouble. It deals with man (or woman, depending) who finds himself in a real relationship before he expected it. It’s based on personal experience, Stead says: “It’s about that moment you find out it’s more than just a fling – it’s a deeper relationship.”

Honey, can we talk? Wait, don’t run!

“I don’t look at trouble as a bad thing,” he explains. “It’s a good thing. It’s tongue-in-cheek. When you’re first getting into a relationship, you can’t ignore that kind of signal, that kind of connection.”

Trouble can be heard on Stead’s new album, Civil War – and at his vinyl release show Thursday, July 4 at The Station on Jasper.
