KarenTennisonMusic Karen Tennison New York City Karen Abigail Tennison is a born-and-raised Austin, Texas jazz vocalist living as a professional musician in New York City. Her sound is sweet, emotional, and will always leave you on the edge of your seat, wanting more. After the moment she bought her first Ella Fitzgerald CD at a used bookstore at the age of twelve, Karen has been hooked, finding herself always listening to jazz. Her passion only grew larger after attending The University of Northern Colorado for two years where she dove head first into the jazz scene, attending as many clinics, lectures, and performances that she could, and participating in the jazz choirs the university had to offer. Upon moving back to Texas, Karen decided to attend Texas State University where she quickly became the leading vocalist in the top combo, directed by Butch Miles, and top big band, conducted by Dr. Russell Haight. Karen now leads her own band, from as small as a duo to as big as an 9 piece band at clubs/ festivals/ houses/ anywhere live jazz is needed. Karen is currently pursuing her Masters Degree at Queens College and is under the tutelage of vocalist Aubrey Johnson. The charm and charisma emanating from her being allows for the music she creates to be timeless and flawless with each breath of song she sings. With a voice as captivating as Karen's, it's no surprise that she plays music at some of Austin's most premiere venues with some of the city's finest jazz musicians.
