ABOUT
Once described as a “combination of Patty Griffin grit and Amy Winehouse grace” by American Songwriter, Portland-based singer-songwriter Karyn Ann has been charming audiences across the US for over a decade with her own brand of Soulful Americana. With a voice that’s equal parts church bell and bourbon barrel and a gut-punching grit reminiscent of Bonnie Raitt or Grace Potter, Karyn Ann sings both revenge and redemption, winding her way with unflinching honesty through the stories that define us.
She’s shared stages with artists as Chris Issak, Oliver Wood (of The Wood Brothers), Courtney Marie Andrews and Seth Walker, and has been nationally recognized at such festivals as the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival (CO), Red Ants Pants Music Festival (MT) and Tuscon Folk Festival (AZ), as well as regional festivals like Oregon Country Fair and Portland's own annual Folk Festival.
Ann's latest release Big Money, Deep Pockets is a soulful anthem, a modern day "We Didn't Start the Fire" addressing the pressing environmental and socio-political challenges of our time. Touching on issues from the ongoing climate crisis, social justice movements, and the fight for equality, Ann boldly melds heartfelt artistry with a call to action. Big Money, Deep Pockets is more than just a song—it's a movement.
