Opening for Campbell is Australian blues and soul powerhouse Karen Lee Andrews.
With a lifelong immersion in music, Karen’s journey has predominantly revolved around classic soul and rhythm and blues sounds. However, as her musicality has evolved, she’s embraced blues with a hint of gritty rock and power ballads, all while retaining the influence of soul, gospel, and her Polynesian heritage.
October 2024 saw the release of Karen’s new single ‘I’m Yours’ coinciding with her highly anticipated run of shows across Australia supporting the legendary Cold Chisel.
‘I’m Yours’ is the first single from Andrew’s much-anticipated debut album, set to drop in early 2025 with Karen preparing to tour the new album throughout Australia, UK and Europe delivering a classic blues-rock experience infused with the depth of soul.
Karen has played renowned festivals such as Woodford Folk Festival, Queenscliff Music Festival, Blues at Broadbeach, Dashville Skyline, Mitchell Creek Rock n Blues, Bluesfest Melbourne & WOMAD.
She has also supported music icons such as Jessica Mauboy, Ricky Martin, Cold Chisel, Liz Stringer, Icehouse & Jimmy Barnes.
