Karen Mal – singer / songwriter / mandolinist

Lilt? Trill? Oh yes!

By Peter DeVeber

I live by the sea and I write poetry –
Karen’s voice is the sea, it is the poetry.
 

I heard her sing Stars Fell on Alabama at a friend’s house in Maine – as good as I’ve ever heard the song sung – a favorite of mine.
 

I am waiting for her to do jazz anthems and the American songbook – Stars Fell on Alabama of course, I Cover the Waterfront, How High the Moon, and so on.
 

Take a look at The Space Between and House of Wills (both CDs are available on iTunes).
 

I heard her sing On the Sunny Side of the Street on House of Wills (Will Taylor & Strings Attached) – as good as I’ve ever heard the song sung – another favorite of mine.

& Suitcase Full of Memories on The Space Between.

Both CDs highly recommended.    More projects in the works.  Keep a jazz ear out for Karen Mal.

NOTE: Originally from Connecticut, Karen now lives in Austin, Texas.
