Nach genau 12 Jahren wieder zurück, wo die Band einst für eine längere Schaffenspause aufgehört hat: Im Club 1019, ihrem Lieblingsspielort, einfach passend für melodiösen, straighten Clubrock mit Nähe zum Publikum und zur Bar. Musikalisch gereift, klingen die selbstgeschriebenen Songs wieder brandneu, manche etwas verändert, a bisserl mehr groove, ziemlicher Bock, weniger Punk und Zorn, zeitweise packt sie der Blues, aber die alte Ohrwurmqualität ihrer Songs bleibt erhalten.

Surrounded by music her entire life, Karen’s career to date has largely revolved around classic soul and rhythm and blues sounds. But in recent years, as her musicality has evolved, she’s been leaning more towards blues. The influence of soul, gospel and Karen’s Polynesian background continues to inform what she does, but the blues has come to feel more like home.
Karen’s new EP ‘Edin’ takes a more comprehensive journey through soul and blues music, while providing a candid expression of her personal identity. Karen’s songcraft is built on a thorough knowledge of blues, gospel and soul music and motored by an undeniable hunger to connect. Yet the defining ingredient is Karen’s unshakeable artistic passion.
Andrews mostly tours as a formidable trio, teaming up with Yanya Boston on drums and Adam Ventoura on bass – two exceptional musicians. This dynamic band is exhilarating to witness!
“Soulful and bluesy, with so much heart and pain, delivered with so much class.”
