Special Performance by Karen Jacobsen
The Queer Cultural Center in association with RJO Artist Relations NY (www.rjoartists.com) proudly present Karen Jacobsen at this year’s QBall. Originally from Australia, Karen Jacobsen has been touring for years and has been all over the map. You may have seen her open for Norah Jones in New York, sing the National Anthem at Boston’s Fenway Park or sing on the same stage as Jars Of Clay and Uncle Kracker at Mohegan Sun Arena which aired as a special on NBC. Now based in New York, Karen has built a loyal following and has been performing at The Duplex weekly for over a year. Karen’s new CD “Here In My Heart” will be released in June. http://www.karenjacobsen.com
