About Me

Riding a bicycle is one of my favorite moments to sing a song, walking is good too, and so is washing dishes. I like northern and southern countries, I grew up right in the middle – in Austria – where life tends to bee too comfortable sometimes. Extremer climates produces crazier populations and fighting spirit, besides I love orange trees in the winter and a never-setting sun in the summer. I started Lonely Drifter Karen 2003 after leaving my home and my former band in Vienna and moving to Gothenburg, Sweden. It was a step into independence, magical wings which I never thought I had before I gave them a try. After being single for some years I fell in love again, with the Spanish pianist Marc Melià Sobrevias and the Italian drummer Giorgio Menossi. Barcelona was the scene of our romance, the album “Grass is Singing” the result. Marc's a fanatic inventor and makes sure that the songs are glowing to their fullest potential. He is mainly responsible for the arrangements and is always on fire when playing the piano. Giorgio Menossi is playing “Keep cool, boy” on his drums and usually has a big smile on his face.
