Australian blues and soul powerhouse Karen Lee Andrews possesses an unwavering artistic purpose. With a lifelong immersion in music, Karen’s journey has predominantly revolved around classic soul and rhythm and blues sounds.

However, as her musicality has evolved, she’s embraced blues with a hint of gritty rock and power ballads, all while retaining the influence of soul, gospel, and her Polynesian heritage.

Karen Lee Andrews’ songcraft is rooted in a profound understanding of blues, gospel, and soul music, driven by a desire to connect with her audience. Yet, what truly defines her is an unshakeable artistic passion.

Onstage, Karen is joined by her formidable 3-piece band, featuring Yanya Boston on drums (known for his work with Tina Arena, Becca Hatch, Thandi Phoenix, Joy) and Adam Ventoura on bass (renowned for his contributions to Midnight Oil, Guy Sebastian, Oyobi). While these musicians shine individually, their dynamic as a group is nothing short of exhilarating. Together, they deliver a classic blues-rock experience infused with the depth of soul.

Karen Lee Andrews has played at renowned festivals such as Woodford Folk Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival, Blues at Broadbeach, Dashville Skyline, Mitchell Creek Rock n Blues, Bluesfest Melbourne & WOMAD. She has also supported music icons such as Jessica Mauboy, Ricky Martin, Liz Stringer, Icehouse & Jimmy Barnes.

This year sees Karen returning to the studio to record her debut album along with touring internationally in 2025 in the UK and Europe.
