Karen Lee Andrews is in possession of a powerful sense of artistic purpose. 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 have 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.

At Festival of Voices Andrews is teaming up with Adam Ventoura on bass. This dynamic duo is exhilarating to witness!
