“Powerful, Soulful Blues”

For over 20 years singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Karen Lee Andrews has built a career which has seen her travel Australia, Europe and Canada.

As an artist that crosses boundaries and melds influences into an earthy, rich and dynamic sound, her music feels like it could come from the soulful blues and gospel-tinged Delta of the Mississippi, from the steamy country bayous of Tennessee or the rock highway of blue-collar Philadelphia.

Throw in her Polynesian heritage and what fans have discovered is a tapestry of stories that paint pictures that will captivate the spirit and the mind.

Karen has that husky, raw and powerful element underpinning her voice which lends it an emotional balance rarely found in artists these days. It drips with the poignant context and history of a Polynesian girl growing up in the industrial city of Wollongong South of Sydney.

Karen spent 2025 touring her latest record Survival to audiences across the country. The album has already struck a powerful chord with listeners, cementing her reputation as an artist whose sound connects deeply and energises crowds nationwide.

“One of the most original and dignified talents to emerge in Australian Entertainment in a long time.”

Paul Sheehan, Sydney Morning Herald

“Commanding and brilliant.”
