About Me |
|
| Karen has been enthralling audiences across the country for more than 30 years, originally influenced by the likes of Miriam Backhouse and other contemporaries. Along the way she has been encouraged by such people as Vin Garbutt, Dougie McLean, and Malc Stent. She has appeared on local radio several times and more recently has received favourable comments with regard to her songwriting capabilities. Karen sings with emotion and uses sensitive guitar accompaniments to give a complete performance of a song which has been known to reduce grown men to tears.Until the untimely death of her singing partner Steve in January, she was to be found jumping around on stage with ’Bus Stop’, a 60’s to 00’s covers band. Now she is experiencing a renaissance with her own singing and it has been predicted that this will be her year.Karen is available for gigs, message her for more details.

Starting again |

| After the sudden death of Steve in January I felt lost. As someone said to me, music is a great healer and I firmly believe that especially as we were both musicians. Life has to go on, and so I ... Posted by Karen Killeen on Sat, 09 Feb 2008 03:15:00 PST |
