NOTES FROM THE BAND

KAREN SINGLE

Karen is a multi-talented ARTIST who has all the ingredients for stardom. Her undeniable talents are easily witnessed during her high-energy performances as she captivates her audiences with versatility in her vocal abilities and musicianship on guitar and keyboards. Before leading the KAREN SINGLE BAND, she toured and performed with numerous "A" circuit and original bands throughout Canada and NWT. (Snow White, Excalibur, DejaVu, to name a couple) Her talents extend to the concept album, "WIDE OPEN" as not only creator of the 3-album story line, but also producing. She's developed a strong stage presence full of dynamics, and likeable charisma. A classically trained, a sought-after keyboard player she is just as comfortable in the studio as she is on stage. With a trunk full of songs deemed to be HITS, and a vision, It's no wonder the industry is excited.
