Karen received her first guitar from her parents at the age of six. Learning theory from a Conservatory music teacher and taking lessons from a variety of musicians who dared to venture out to the boonies of flatland Milo, Alberta, she began her lifelong passion for music. Starting out, like many before her, in the small town church choir and moving on to opening for the likes of Colin James, Gaye Delorme, Willie P. Bennett, Jake Mathews, Dave Gunning, House of Doc and Rob Szabo she continued to play the club scene across the Western provinces. In September 2009 Karen joined "Sirens of Song" for one concert where she shared the stage with Juno award winners Lynn Miles and Melanie Doane along with critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Catherine MacLellan. "You deserve to be here. You are a great singer/songwriter!" Quote to Karen from Juno award winner Lynn Miles during their live performance. 2010 has started out to be a great year as Karen has had the pleasure of opening for Katherine Wheatley and guitar virtuoso Wendell Ferguson which was a true treat! She then had a second appearance with Juno award winner Lynn Miles who is one amazing singer/songwriter! Cudos also to Karen's vocal coach, Brian Farrell, who has been such a positive influence to her career. A respect for a variety of different musical artists shows in her live set list, ranging from folk, roots and blues mixed in with her original material. This is a singer/songwriter you don't want to miss and watch for her 2nd CD coming in 2010 with surprize guest appearances by some of the above mentioned artists!
