Article published Jan 4, 2009 Reynolds to speak at Writers' Guild
Knoxville Writers' Guild
Karen E. Reynolds, an Americana singer/songwriter whose music is compared to that of Cheryl Wheeler, Mary-Chapin Carpenter, James Taylor and Carole King, will speak at the Jan. 8 meeting of the Knoxville Writers' Guild on "How the Songwriter Writes." The meeting is open to the public and will be at the Laurel Theatre at the corner of Laurel Avenue and 16th Street in Fort Sanders. Refreshments are served, and a $1 donation is requested at the door. The building is handicapped accessible.
Based in Knoxville, Reynolds has created a musical presence for herself that is a fascinating combination of musical artistry and hard-headed business. A performer at venues across the Southeast and beyond in a style described as both hearty-voiced and emotional, she has received a host of awards and recognition for her work.
But she also owns and operates a career consultation agency for independent artists; has served as producer, promoter, agent or publicist for many nationally known artists; and is longtime host and program director for Writer's Block, a radio program and concert series that is broadcast worldwide. She has taught song writing and music business through the University of Tennessee and loves to talk about both the craft and the business end of music.
Reynolds is a mentor for the Country Music Hall of Fame's prestigious, "Words & Music In Schools" program and was honored this past season for her work there, by joining Trisha Yearwood and others in concert at the Ford Theatre in Nashville. She signed a publishing deal with Wolf Publishing, Nashville, in early 2007 and freelances as an independent radio promotion consultant for both major and independent publishers. She has been nationally recognized for her songwriting as well as her work with Independent artists, by such organizations as Americana Highway, Indiegrrl, Just Plain Folks and more.
