SINGER-SONGWRITER KAREN GROSS TO PERFORM
SINGER-SONGWRITER KAREN GROSS TO PERFORM IN THE MICHENER ART MUSEUM’S
OUTDOOR SCULPTURE GARDEN
NEW HOPE - August 29, 2005. Young Friends of the Michener Art Museum (YFMAM) are celebrating the end of summer with a special performance by area singer-songwriter Karen Gross in the Museum’s Patricia D. Pfundt Sculpture Garden on Wednesday, September 14, at 7 pm. The all-ages, outdoor concert will feature Karen performing her distinctive blend of folk, rock and pop music, along with a few musician friends.
Tickets are $8 for general admission, and $5 for Museum members or students with ID, which includes admission to the galleries (open until 9 pm that evening). Non-alcoholic refreshments will be served.
A favorite of local audiences, Karen’s warm, engaging stage presence reflects her love of sharing music with people of all ages and musical tastes. She has earned radio airplay (including XPN and WDIY) and performs regularly at premier Philadelphia-area live music establishments including the Tin Angel, Havana and Odette's, as well as music festivals including Musikfest and the Doylestown Arts Festival. Her self-produced album “Navigating” captures her versatility as a writer, performer, arranger and producer.
As a youngster Karen loved digging through her parents’ album collection, where she found inspiration in songwriters such as Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Carole King. With a few years of piano lessons under her belt, Karen began writing her own folk-pop songs at age 14 and was selected as a Finalist in the America’s Best High School Songwriting Competition. During her senior year at Central Bucks East High School in Buckingham, Pa., she recorded her first demo and was voted “Most Likely to Win a Grammy.”
Karen continues to attract a loyal following, drawn to her intimate songwriting style, gorgeous voice, and warm, engaging stage presence. A versatile musician, she is as comfortable fronting her high-energy band (known as the Karen Gross Project) as she is performing solo with simply her voice and piano. Her extensive music repertoire includes standards and contemporary songs.
Proceeds from the concert benefit Young Friends of the Michener Art Museum (YFMAM), a new group of active and enthusiastic Museum members seeking to explore the artistic riches of the Bucks County region and give back to the community.
