Karen Michele + Musician in Plano, TX

ABOUT

Singer Songwriter/ Bass Player starting over after a long recovery from a hand injury. While most of my past experience has been playing Bass with a Beatles Tribute Band (samples included here) I have so played with various Church Worship Teams.

I have a huge heart for Church or Outreach Praise and Worship and prefer soft Classic Rock, some Southern Rock and some Country.

Influences

Beatles, Eagles, Classic Rock 60's, 70's and some Country. While I learned to play Bass by devouring Paul McCartney's Beatles Basslines, I have a strong Christian music background, as well.

Vocally I prefer to sing contralto, so my Vocal set list includes Tunes like House of the Rising Sun, Wonderful Tonight, Folsom Prison Blues, Bad Moon Rising, some Cordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce, Patsy Cline, and the like. (As well as some originals, as I love to write!). There’s a Music Video included here of me singing one of my originals with my last Band. (A Fan surprised me with the video after hearing us perform the song))
