Karen Joy Brown

Karen Joy Brown’s elegantly sparse acoustic pop/jazz/Americana guitar and deeply soulful voice express heartfelt emotion that inspires reflection and connection in listeners.

Her songwriting reveals a poet’s soul captivated by the spiritual challenges, lessons, and bliss inherent in human experience. The powerful combination of well-crafted lyrics and an enchanting vocal delivery reach out to befriend and uplift with her singular sense of rhythm, humor, and compassion.

Karen and former Bootleg Honey bandmate, Katie Phillips, are currently exploring new ways to combine songwriting, singing, and recovery/personal growth work in an upcoming podcast to be released April 2024,  Supernova Support. The show aims to inspire by sharing how songwriting has supercharged their own personal work and craft as well as create an interactive space for listeners to engage their own creativity and personal insight through meditation, writing, and more. They aspire to expand the principles of the show into both online and in-person workshops, retreats, house concerts and more.
