Bio
Winnipeg-based musician Karen Hammarstrand's music is reminiscent of 60's folk, with jazz and blues leanings. Written from deeply personal as well as universal perspectives, her signature emerges in pared-down lyrics combined with clean, often subtly complex progressions delivered in a warm, smoky voice.
June 25, 2015 saw the release of her debut CD of 10 ten original songs. Late Blooming is a smorgasbord of grooves covering musical ground from blousy New Orleans blues to smooth bossa, from gentle ballads to rock/pop, and from bluegrass and folk to country.
Late Blooming is an accomplished, engaging set of tunes that blurs the lines between folk, jazz, bluegrass and the blues...it is really Hammarstrand’s lyrics and vocals that take centre stage.
