Review – Karen Jonas Trio

Coming all the way from Virginia, US, The Karen Jonas Trio consists of Karen Jonas on vocals and acoustic guitar, Tim Bray on guitar and Seth Morrissey on bass and backing vocals, just three individuals who really fill the stage.

The often awkward banter in between songs comes across as witty and honest and Karen’s background to her songwriting really helps to understand the songs.

Karen manages to tailor her voice to a number of styles and the tempo moves up and down throughout the set, the majority being original work with a smattering of brilliantly interpreted covers.

Many of the original songs had the rare quality of being remembered on the walk home.

Tim Bray’s masterful performance on guitar also deserves a mention, as truly talented musician.

The Old Parcels Office is a great venue for live music with good acoustics, a relaxed atmosphere and even reasonably-priced drinks served by volunteers.

Take a look at their website for upcoming music events for a great evening out:
