ABOUT
Once described as a “combination of Patty Griffin grit and Amy Winehouse grace” by American Songwriter, Portland-based Soul/Americana singer-songwriter Karyn Ann has been charming audiences across the US for nearly a decade. Her powerful vocals and thoughtful songwriting weave together themes of nature and personal experience into a narrative that highlights the many facets of universal human emotions.
She’s shared stages with Courtney Marie Andrews, Seth Walker and Haley Johnsen to name a few, and has graced such stages as the legendary Bitter End in NYC and the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, OR. She is a former selectee for the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist showcase and the Red Ants Pants Music Festival, and her songwriting skills have been recognized by the Red Lodge Songwriters Contest and the Tucson Folk Festival Songwriting Competition.
Ann is currently working on releasing new music. The title track “Consequence of Fear” from her forthcoming EP of the same name debuted May 5th and offers the listener the first glimpse of Ann’s plunge into the lush world of electric guitar and synth fueled production. Her latest single “8 hours” is out NOW. Listen here!
