Raumati South based singer/songwriter Karen Clarke is coming our way.
“The roots of my music are in our family life” Karen says. “I’ve been writing and performing my own brand of original music for the last seven years since coming back to home base. The creative energy of the Kapiti Coast and the rich musical community here is pretty inspiring. The music arising in me is a natural consequence I think. Indigenous to this time and place really.” Karen’s original music fuses her love of rhythm, smoky vocal delivery and a sensitive eye on life. Themes of love, optimism, sexuality with a dose of social commentary are the territory Karen explores in song. The influence of both her Ngati Kahungunu and Celt lines are heard in the mix of contemporary folky, bluesy and femme styles.
Pennies from Heaven...are Mary Livingston and Sarah Duckworth. Divine duo singing close part harmony from a range of contemporary folk styles.
