NOVEMBER
Welcome to the Official Karen Bella Page!
FALL 2020
Ladies and gents,
November Live shows have been updated.
Stay tuned for more added shows.
An article was written about me in Good Time Mag - finally back after their 7 month hiatus. You may check out their October 16th - Nov 17th Edition available in select music stores and restaurants. Page 12. Also a digital version is available here: https://issuu.com/goodtimesmag/docs/01
Things seem to be going well and always trying to keep productive even during trying times.
My wrist continues to heal well and I'm playing shows solo now.
Sadly, my dog, Bella, has passed away. For anyone who has ever had a furry buddy walk the rainbow bridge knows how deeply devastating it is. But her memory will live on in my heart. Thanks for 12 years of teaching me unconditional love and kindness - my Little Bella. <3
Love always,
Karen Bella

ALBUM REVIEW BY BOB BENNETT 90.1fm WUSB
Top Local Music Album Pick - Karen Bella
Karen Bella released her debut EP with a release party at Rockwood Music Hall, on the eve of the COVID-19 lockdown, and this record is just what we needed to take us through these strange times. Karen’s voice is simultaneously soothing and invigorating, and right out of the gate she grabs our attention in “Fly”, the opening track, and continues to enthrall us with “Indio”, into the uplifting and inspirational “Needle in the Hay”. “Good Morning” paints a beautiful picture of love and intimacy, then Karen brings out the big guns for the next track “Jack Honey”, a captivating tune made perfect by Karen’s sultry vocals. She then takes us out easy with “San Andreas”.
This is an EP that you will find yourself listening to over and over again. The tunes are captivating, the production is exceptional, and the vocal performance is amazing. You’ll want to see Karen perform live, either via live stream or eventually in person when possible. She’s doing a lot of live stream performances now, so check out her facebook page for her schedule and archives of previous live streams.
