About Me |
|
"her voice cracks my heart in half..." - Chris Conrad, Mail Tribune Karen Lovely sings the blues - with soul, passion, fun and a whole lotta volume. She started singing professionally in London at 27, and after a 15 year hiatus from the music business, hit the Southern Oregon music scene with her own band in September 2007. Since then, Karen Lovely and her band have been wowing fans at every venue. The Karen Lovely Band will be opening for The Insomniacs and Too Slim and the Tail Draggers at the 2009 Rogue Valley Blues Festival, January 17.

My mom for making me call my brothers and sisters to dinner. Yelling like a fishwife was more socially acceptable back then and it saved having to walk 3 blocks.
