About Me

Freedom meets Creativity in the poignant lyrics and exquisite vocals of Karrie Pavish Anderson's contemporary music. From a childhood of music involvement to the study of it at the University of Alaska Anchorage, Karrie has performed at a myriad of venues presenting music colored with jazz, rock, ccm and blues. "There's nothing like sending out all-original tunes to packed venues and seeing people really into the music," says Pavish Anderson.
Naturally weaving passion with insight, Karrie's vocals and articulate songwriting talents give birth to great acoustic performances that delight culturally diverse audiences of all ages, leaving them pleasantly satiated yet jonesing for another fix.
Whether Karrie accompanies herself on the piano or guitar, whether she sings a capella or with a gospel choir & band, listeners regularly comment on the depth of passion she expresses when she performs. She comments, "Perseverance through life challenges offers me so much to write about. Everyone goes through hard times and sometimes it's difficult to find the rhyme or reason; that's something everyone can relate to. But it's my desire to offer a bit of hope & love through my writing and my performances 'cause Lord knows, we could all use a little more of those."
Karrie is a slender, vivacious, sassy yet elegant brunette whose passion is intrinsically poured out in her singing and lived out in her life.
