Album Notes

Karla Anderson

Karla Anderson burst on to the world music stage in 2005 when her song “What Else Can I Do? was featured in the hit television series “Joan of Arcadia”. The show used two of Karla’s songs but it was “the blanket song” (as her fans call it) that generated overwhelming response from around the world. She followed up that exposure with her debut release “The Embassy Sessions” in August of 2005, and the wheels were set in motion. Since that time Karla’s music has been ingraining itself into the hearts of audiences wherever she appears and wherever the music is played. Her disc has topped the charts on many stations including America’s pre-eminent folk music station WUMB in Boston. Her appearance on the CBC Television Special “Alberta Bound – A Centennial Celebration” brought another legion of new fans. This special featured artists and icons including k.d. lang, Ian Tyson, Jann Arden and Nickleback, while featuring Corb Lund and Karla Anderson as the future of Alberta’s rich musical legacy. In December of 2005, Karla won the “Best New Artist” award at the Canadian Folk Music Awards.

The year 2006 saw Karla spending a great deal of her time building a new house for her three boys and herself to move into, but it did not prevent her from appearing at numerous music festivals and music clubs from Vancouver Island to Toronto. She has shared stages with Ruthie Foster, Chip Taylor and Carrie Rodriguez, Martyn Joesph, Keiran Kane and Kevin Welch, Harry Manx, David Francey and Gordie Sampson.

Karla will be playing selected festivals and concerts this summer while working her schedule around the recording of her follow up disc. The new disc will be in stores by the fall of this year and Karla will be touring extensively in support of the new recording.
