About this concert
Presenting a very special evening of original music by Durham singer/songwriter/pianist Karen Novy, with Robert Ireland on guitar.
About this Event
Often likened to Sara Bareilles and Jewel, Karen Novy's music is an experience, theatrical in nature, lyrically deep and sonically beautiful. Novy does not shy away from the depth of human emotion, and instead explores and expresses the complexity of the human experience with grace and ease.
The evening will feature her unique music. Novy is a true performer, a most genuine songwriter and artist. Her music is widely diverse and transcends age, gender, and cultural boundaries. There is something for everyone, from heartfelt solo piano/vocal songs to complex arrangements with harmony vocals and riveting guitar work.
Novy has just released a 14-song CD, her 4th, and is launching an upcoming US/European tour with this special concert at the Durham Arts Council. The concert will feature songs from the new album “Dragonfly” as well as some very new, never performed live yet, material.

Karen Novy Biography
Karen Novy began playing piano at the tender age of five years old, taught first by her father who was a popular piano teacher in the small town of Watchung, NJ where she grew up. She quickly fell in love with the instrument and spent most of her childhood playing on those 88 keys while everyone else was playing kickball.
She began writing songs at age 17, and discovered her love of emotionally honest lyric writing. Songwriting and performing for Novy has always been primarily about communicating raw emotion and the healing power of music to the listening audience.
After getting her degree in music education at Mason Gross School of the Arts, she taught for a few years in an elementary school before heading to New Orleans to immerse herself in the jazz and blues music scene there.
Karen recorded her first full-length CD with co-producer and drummer Steven Feldman while living in New York City. To promote that record "Living True", she began touring up and down the east coast, both as a solo artist and with a trio. She followed that album up with an ep of 4 pop songs, co-written with and produced by Andrew Hollander, entitled "halfway there". Karen’s newest CD "Always" was released in 2016.
In between songwriting trips to Nashville and live performances in the Triangle area of North Carolina, she is in pre-production on a new album due out in the Autumn of 2018.
