Long regarded for the delicate humanity and graceful depth with which she approaches her musical storytelling, Karen Oberlin is a performer, a woman of many parts. People starstruck by her elegant Patrician beauty might find themselves following her work as a singer of standards, while others attracted to a playful humor and grounded intelligence are drawn to rock covers and original compositions. For herself, Ms. Oberlin's work in music draws directly from the quality of the talent involved. Known for choosing musical material ranging from Doris Day to Randy Newman, and working with world-class musicians like frequent collaborator Sean Harkness, the singing actress with the peaches and cream complexion and brandy in crystal voice has had a career in music that up-and-comers and veterans both look to for inspiration.
