Karen Savoca

Karen Savoca pours her heart into a song the way a great actor throws herself into a role.

Her songs draw you into a world of humor and compassion, shared with grace and ease, as though you’ve been invited to her table for supper.

At the age of 8, Karen asked for piano lessons and at thirteen began composing on a guitar she bought with saved birthday money.

Karen attended Syracuse University, where she studied music and elementary education.

“If were a Native American, her name would be Sings Like Two Birds.” – Greg Brown
