Taranaki-based blueswoman Karen Clarke and fiddler Krissy Jackson are performing in Palmerston North this Saturday night.
“We have been working on getting Karen here for a while now so I’m delighted that locals will finally get a chance to enjoy her powerhouse mahogany vocals,” promoter Steve Tolley says.
“She’s got a great voice and very warm on-stage presence.”
“She writes some great songs too. She released her second album of original material last year, which was co-produced by Andrew London and features some heavyweights from the Wellington music scene like Wayne Mason on keys, and guitarists Nick Granville and John O’Conner and Andrew, too, so she’s in good company.”
Music lovers might recognise Clarke from previous projects Hard Candy, Back Beat Chauffeurs and GloryBox. She has appeared at many New Zealand festivals and shared the billing with notables such as Paul Ubana Jones, Tina Cross & The Lady Killers, The Jordan Luck Band, and Bullfrog Rata.
