Lonely Drifter Karen : "Grass Is Singing"
A captivating voice, a fiery piano, a gentle folk guitar wandering into an expressionist cabaret, melodies, melodies and more melodies, words, emotion and magic: welcome to the unique world of Lonely Drifter Karen, a new band revolving around Viennese singer-songwriter Tanja Frinta and Catalan pianist Marc Meliá Sobrevias. Be prepared: this is dangerously bewitching.
