KAREN’S STORY

At the heart of Karen’s story is a real drive to connect, move people through song and open up people’s hearts holding an awareness of other perspectives that make up our way of understanding reality - to make our time here on earth meaningful and beautiful.

Her belief is that everyone has a story worth telling that gives context to the whole story of humanity, that the natural world is precious and we need stewards to honour it. That this story is worth singing about and sharing.

In an age of selfies, click-bait, brevity and time-poorness with constant “connectedness in the digital world”, our minds are fed on a fast-food diet of ‘content’ that has little nourishment.

Karen’s trusted brand built up over four decades of touching people’s hearts is the antithesis of this.

Through quality connection, Karen lays bare the truth and richness of the stories in people’s hearts, the means for people to truly connect with the natural world, opening windows to worlds that touch and enlighten souls.

Being with Karen enables us to take some time out to see ourselves, to reconnect and nourish our true essence. To perceive, to open a window. To feel something.

Time spent with Karen is an enriching experience that has many ongoing ripple effects.

Karen’s latest album Solid Ground will be officially launched to coincide with International Women’s Day in March 2020 as a celebration of the gift of the recording of Min Mia’s sacred indigenous songs - a gift to all Australian women.

SOLID GROUND REVIEWS:

"I'd like to congratulate you Karen for your new release Solid Ground. It is a terrific piece of art"

- Therese Virtue, OAM, The Boîte Wolrd Music Cafe, Melbourne, Australia

“I would like to congratulate you on your new CD Solid Ground. I ordered my copy a few weeks ago and it arrived just in time for our Australia Day celebrations, which I found most appropriate. We used it as the soundtrack for our day, which consisted of a family and friends BBQ. I first listened to it in my car and immediately felt a connection to it. The words are deeply meaningful and I feel your connection to Mother Earth which also makes me feel a connection too. I already love nature as I do a lot of bushwalking and hiking for fitness reasons but your CD has bought it to another level. I can’t decide which song is my favourite as I hear something else in each song every time I listen to it  which is everyday as it stays in my car but 'The Birds' and the title track are pretty special. I just felt like letting you know that you've done an astounding job on this CD.”

A Personal note to you regarding my new Community at Patreon

"I have recently created a personal community on Patreon so you can support my musical work and be part of a collective ongoing creative journey. I see creativity is best used to respond to life around us and I look forward to listening, creating and expressing through music what is coming up to be sung into at this time in history.

For those of you who have followed my career over many years I wish to open up a new opportunity. I'd like to have more of an ongoing relationship with you so I can listen to what your thoughts are and respond. We are now at a pivotal time in history, a time of uncertainty and transformation that most of us have never experienced before. It is in these times of reflection that we have the chance to heal. It is in these times of significant change that we have the chance to focus on what we want to see in the world. What role do we each want to take in creating a beautiful, harmonious world that works for our needs (not our greed) and places the things we value (eg: clean air, water and freedom) as the lens through which we collectively make decisions? 

I would love to listen and work with you. I'd love to be part of creating what you personally need - to bring solace and sanctuary to this time of uncertainty and to also add my voice to collectively breathing life into the world we wish to see. 

I thank you sincerely for your support and for your willingness to play your part. There is magic ahead..."
