About Us:
With a voice and classic writing style
reminiscent of torch singers past,
Karena can belt out those blues or
sizzle with smoky jazz vocals.
Currently working on multiple
recording projects with Wily Bo
Walker, including 'Moon Over Indigo',
WBW's forthcoming solo album, which
involves some of the finest musicians
from across the globe.
Singles 'Drive' and 'Same Thing' from
the project have already been released
to critical acclaim.
Karena and Wily Bo are also working on
a joint project with the first four
tracks 'Angels In The Night',(also
featuring Karena on soprano sax), 'Did
I Forget', 'Long Way To Heaven' and
latest swing noir track 'Rendez-vous
Des Cheminots' released to critical
acclaim.
Karena also performs with mad cap
festival favourites, 'Rattlin Bone',
as backing vocalist/second lead and
backing vocal arranger. The debut
album 'The Life and Death Of' was
released in 2011 and is constantly
selling out at gigs. It is also
selling well as a download from iTunes
and the usual on-line stores. The
second album is well under way with
two releases 'Who Do You Love' and
'Yesterday Is Here' already out and
very well received
Also recording/arranging backing
vocals for many of the tracks of Wily
Bo's guitar based band, the Mescal
Canyon Troubadours, for their debut
album 'Stone Cold Beautiful' and of
these already on release are 'Storm
Warning' and 'Loan Me A Dime'
,'September Red' and most recent
release 'I Want To Know'.
Wily Bo winds his lyrical magic around
the incomparable guitar work of Edward
Brayshaw. Add Karena's vocals to the
blend and you have something al little
bit special..
