The KAREN SINGLE BAND began its legacy in the early months of 1997, performing for festivals, out-door concerts and nightclubs, right from day one.

They have proudly delighted and entertained audiences right across Canada, for the last 21 years full time in various forms and band names such as WELDERS DAUGHTER (“house band of the north” which currently holds the record for consecutive years running as Canada’s most working club band playing 5-7 nights per week, every week), COVERGIRL (Tribute to women in Rock), and EARCANDY (top 40 cover band).

They have shared the stage with numerous well known bands such as: NICKELBACK, MATHEW GOOD BAND, EDWIN, I MOTHER EARTH , BIG SUGAR, HEADSTONES, LEE AARON, ALANNAH MYLES, 54/40, PRISM, SASS JORDAN, HEADPINS, WIDE MOUTH MASON, JERRY LEE LEWIS, BLUE OYSTER CULT, HELIX, PAT TRAVERS, APRIL WINE, MOIST, BARNEY BENTALL, DOUG & THE SLUGS, RHYMES WITH ORANGE, CCR, TROOPER, STEPPENWOLF, FIREHOUSE, CHILLIWACK, FILTER, GLASS TIGER , plus many more.

Pushing forward, regardless of economic realities, and musical trends, they never gave up and continued polishing their already impressive skills. This has built them an enormous, diverse and extremely loyal following right across Canada and interestingly, internationally as well. Although, they have not toured outside of Canada, thanks to the internet and social media, opportunities are now presenting themselves and plans to tour internationally next year are lining up.

Their first album (Wide Open, released 2001 ) got rave reviews right across Canada and internationally. It is still receiving airtime and reviews on main stream radio, and on various digital platforms such as Spotify, online radio, and podcasts, A renewed interest in this genre of music has increased the albums rotations and is gaining more and more interest.

An amazing band, they excite you with high energy shows, alongside excellent musicianship.

Celebrating 21 years as a full-time performing band this year, the core members are tighter, and stronger than ever.
