Karen Jonas announces “Summer Songs,” a four-song EP, and “Gumballs,” a collection of poems, both set for release on August 20, 2021.
Known for her stellar songwriting, sultry vocals, and compelling stage presence, Karen harkens back to her songwriting heroes Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan, with a sonic nod to modern greats like Gillian Welch and Jason Isbell. Karen is a two-time Wammie Award winner for Best Country Artist, Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest Winner, and Dale Watson’s Ameripolitan award nominee.
Her long-time collaboration with dazzling guitarist Tim Bray, joined by bassist/vocalist Seth Morrissey and drummer Seth Brown, has produced five full-length records, beginning with 2014’s internationally-acclaimed “Oklahoma Lottery.” 2020’s much-lauded “The Southwest Sky and Other Dreams” is a gutting but “warmly nostalgic” (American Songwriter) masterpiece - proof of Karen’s ability to weave creative depth into everyday stories. Covered by everyone from Rolling Stone Germany to Country Music People UK to American Songwriter, Karen’s investment in artistic excellence continues to pay off with her upcoming release, Summer Songs.
“Summer Songs” is a collection of three KJ-penned songs and a show-stopping update of Don Henley’s “The Boys of Summer.” “Thunder on the Battery” paints a picture of a fierce thunderstorm with swooping pedal steel and bluesy guitar, while “Summer’s Hard for Love” sounds like sipping a glass of bourbon and watching the fireflies with gentle cross-stick and lush harmonies. “Summer Moon” is a sweet acoustic love song, tracked live-in-the-studio.
