Karen Anderson and Ewan MacKenzie
Karen Anderson and Ewan MacKenzie

A pair of Scottish surnames, some Taurean hedonism and twin musical spirits unite Karen Anderson and Ewan Mackenzie. Since they first met many years ago when a 17 year old Karen was busking in Brisbane city and Ewan was gigging solo, they have maintained a musical friendship that has spanned many musical explorations. After gigs with one of Karen’s early bands Cheap Meat & The Lamb Noisettes and backing vocals on Ewan’s solo recording projects respectively, they moved on to playing together in the popular Credo and Ewan Mackenzie Blues Project . There followed a number of years working in Karen’s jazz line ups. They have also worked as a duo in recent times and are popular regular performers at the Bay of Islands Jazz Festival New Zealand.
Their musical landscape is a place where hearts are worn firmly on sleeves. They listen and follow each other on journeys through songs made with bluesy souly jazzy marinades, plus the odd garnish of jazz manouche, folky pop and French chanson. Eclectic and definitely edible, it’s the way they work off each other and understand where the other is going that makes watching their travels something special.
