New York-based Karen Bella is one of the hardest working singer-songwriters in the business, and after enduring a 2020 filled with setbacks, many may say she is also one of the most resilient. Pre-Pandemic, she performed eight to 10 shows a week in the tri-state area, playing such notable venues as the Rockwood Music Hall, The Bitter End, the Landmark Theater in Port Washington, Great South Bay Music Festival and the Philadelphia Music Festival. Despite her busy schedule, she still had time to write, record and release her debut album and perform high-profile shows that not only earned her a VIP audition for NBC’s The Voice, she was named a Sam Ash Music Store “Spotlight Artist,” and she has been an official Fishman endorsed artist since 2019.
