Artists:Karen Savoca
From WWR

Never doubting that she would live a life of music, she attended Crouse College at Syracuse University, but Karen Savoca had always sung in her own voice, and the curriculum was operatic and restrictive... she switched her major to Elementary Ed where she developed passionate views about teaching young children. During that time she honed her singing style with several groups on campus and around town.
While he was visiting home from Atlanta, Karen met guitarist Pete Heitzman. The short story is that he'd gone to a club to catch a friend's band, and Karen was their new singer. They jammed all night, and Pete joined the band the next day. The two have been together ever since.
Karen's music confounds even the staunchest pigeonholers. It's bravely non-traditional, yet completely accessible. Her appearance on the contemporary folk scene says more about the broad-minded audience of folk than it does about her music.
The duo's live performances are uplifting and hypnotic, and they like to put some funk in the folk. Playing conga and hand percussion, Karen infuses the music with her love of Soul, R&B, and World rhythms. Together she and innovative guitarist Pete Heitzman have been described as a self-contained mini-band with "the fearlessness of a high-wire act working without a net." It's an elusive mix... melodic, funky and spontaneous.
"If she were a Native American, her name would be Sings Like Two Birds." -- Greg Brown.
