bio

        Karyn Michaelson                  Songwriter with a Voice

     

Her voice has been described as k.d.lang meets Susan Tedeschi, and her songs are an emotionally packed combo of blues, americana, and rock n roll. A late bloomer,  Karyn started writing songs in her thirties. Now in her fifties, she hopes she is an inspiration for older artists. 
On her bucket list is to be honored to sing her songs with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra.

                

“Karyn's a good singer and I wouldn't mind hearing some more material...her writing showed a lot of potential.”

— Bruce Iglauer - Alligator Records

“She tells an honest and clear story of grit and sweetness with an ever moving backdrop” - S.M.
