KAREN LEE ANDREWS
Australian blues and soul powerhouse Karen Lee Andrews possesses an unwavering artistic purpose.
Karen is set to release her long-awaited debut album Survival in 2025. Her songs capture the essence of life, revealing that paradise is a blend of heartache, loss, and love, and how these elements coexist.
Survival’s sound is a sublime mix of vintage soul, blues and rock carried by Karen’s rich guitar tones and deep vocal convictions. Karen’s Polynesian roots are embedded in this album with gospel tones and earthly elements in every song.
Joining Karen on stage to tour Survival throughout Australia, UK and Europe will be two of Australia’s finest musicians, Yanya Boston on drums and Adam Ventoura on bass as the backbone of her incomparable sound. While these musicians shine individually, their dynamic as a group is nothing short of exhilarating. Together, they deliver a classic blues-rock experience infused with the depth of soul.
Audiences will be intoxicated and engaged, and during the live show feel a real embrace between artist and listener.
