A dynamic performer with pitch perfect vocals; Karen has appeared nationally & internationally performing at some of the UK’s biggest venues, including the O2 Arena & Lakeside Country Club. Karen’s silky smooth tones are often likened to such great singers as Karen Carpenter, Eva Cassidy and Rumor, however it’s the variety of music Karen has to offer that makes her so appealing. A little something for everyone – a song for all occasions! Disco, Soul, Motown, Pop, Rock, Country, Rock ‘n’ Roll & Jazz, Karen’s repertoire has a song from the 40s up to the present day, which can go to make your event the one to remember. Karen has also sung backing vocals for Foreigner and enjoyed much success with her own Karen Carpenter tribute show and 60s/70s stage production Step Right Back.

15 years plus of touring the national circuit means I have received bookings from many venues throughout the country including many top hotels, corporate events companies, restaurants, military establishments, theatres, holiday park and cabaret venues.

Enjoying much success with my Carpenters Tribute show called Portrait; A Tribute to The Carpenters. We have recently been a part of the Billy & Wally's Big Variety Night Out supporting Chrissy Rock in and around Merseyside as well as performing in their variety weekender at Pontins Southport.

Professionally trained vocally and in acting.
