About Karen Lovely

In just one year, The Karen Lovely Band has shot onto the blues scene like Stack O' Lee's Forty-Four. Driven by Karen Lovely's powerful, expressive voice, this stellar band features a blistering mix of contemporary & old school blues originals.

Karen Lovely's debut record "Lucky Girl" was a #1 Pick to Click on XM Radio's BB King's Bluesville channel and premiered at #13 on the Living Blues Chart.

After a nearly 20 year hiatus from the music business, Karen Lovely started singing the blues again in 2007. The Karen Lovely Band formed a year later and in that short time the band has delivered performances that have consistently earned them critical acclaim and standing ovations at venues such as the International Blues Challenge, Safeway Waterfront Blues Festival, the Britt Festival, the Klamath Blues Festival and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival Green Show.
