Vancouver –Karen Fowlie will be performing during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. She will give solo showcases at the 2010 Olympics Plaza of Nations Stage on Wednesday February 24th from 4:15 to 4:55pm. Karen then hopes to inspire Canadian athletes to bring home the gold by giving a concert to remember with the Perkins 354 band at Athletes’ Village in Whistler on February 27th at 4:00pm. She is currently available for interviews and public appearances upon request.
Karen is a veteran performer who has captivated audiences at festivals and venues across the country since 1997. She settled in Vancouver in 2005 and quickly established herself as a prominent and influential member of the local music scene. Karen has appeared at the Merritt Mountain Music Festival, the North Vancouver Sunny Sundays Concert Series, the Art in the Garden Festival, the Wild at Art Festival and headlined the Copper and Fire Festival.
“Pushing the Edge”, Karen’s debut CD, has had notable success. It’s an exciting Alt. Country/Rock collection of upbeat songs which delve into the deepest recesses of human emotion. One of the album’s most poignant tracks, “Tell Me,” examines childhood bullying and its effect on conflict in adulthood. To back this song, an independently-produced music video was released this past summer.
“Tell Me” then garnered Karen AN ACCOLADE FROM THE BRITISH COLUMBIA ATTORNEY GENERAL and obtained national exposure in 7-11 and Wal-Mart stores. Another track from the album, “Happy,” was SELECTED TO REPRESENT MUSIC FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA in the 2008 Trade mission to Japan . Music from the CD has also been added to two compilation CDs ( Music BC ’s “Make A Case Against Racism”) and the 2008 Vancouver Artist’s Collective Association (VACA) compilation.
Karen’s songs continue to be in demand. “Love Letters to Evelyn,” a World War II love story, was added to the Wild at Art Festival compilation CD, Karen’s holiday song, “Christmas Is Tomorrow,” was included on Rave On Studio’s compilation CD “A Very Vancouver Christmas III,” and was promoted by the Vancouver Province this last Christmas as one of the chosen songs on their “PROVINCE PLAYLIST”.
Listen for Karen’s newest single “Fire” as it is being released to Hot A/C radio stations across Canada February 2010!
Pushing the Edge is distributed through Adagio Music/Ioda Alliance, and is currently available through karenfowlie.com, iTunes.com and other online vendors.
