Karen,
I just want to thank you for your very generous time and information given to me on Sunday. I can't tell you what it means!! So many people are full of hot air or withhold when they could give, and you, sweet Karen, are a gem!! What fantastic karma you must have. You enlightened me and taught me, and shared so that I could. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! I am beginning to follow some of the leads you gave me and will keep you updated!

.. an amazing individual that you should know. In addition to process and technical specifics, there is a lot to be learned about process management, discipline, and work ethic from the lovely Karen Deschamps.

Karen,
I've only been in music for 10 or 12 yrs I guess and since that time a lot of people have given me advice on what I should do with my career and how I needed to be doing this or that to be more successful - really in the end the only thing that has mattered is me singing my songs and how they connect with my fans.
I really thank you for all of your help and Keep doing what you are doing, it is helping me a lot.

Hi Karen -
Just a note to say that Bryce is very lucky to have you as a manager. I receive countless emails and queries from potential artists and yours definitely stands out. From a quick look at your myspace page I can see that we also value the same qualities in the people we work with. .. I always (but not often) acknowledge people who do a great job, and who truly put their heart into their work. I really value that. Look forward to your package.
Best, Julie

Thanks to everyone who supported and help promote the Americana Songwriter Round at Cafe Caffeine Friday night!
A capacity crowd of 85+guests left precious little standing room at one of South Austin's newest listening venues. The rapt, attentive audience drank in new, unreleased songs and fan favorites alike!
Gurf Morlix is well known and loved in Austin but remember these names .. Sam Baker and Andrew Walker. New CD's coming soon from all. Check out artist websites and myspace profiles for mp3's, pics and career details.
Special thanks to KGSR (Daily Demo - Sam Baker), KUT, Austin Chronicle, News 8 Austin, and The Austin Music Society!
Sent: Saturday, June 03, 2006 9:50 AM Subject: Great Show! Karen, Looks like your first promotion was a great success! The sound was very good and Andrew was, I think, the best of the lot. I've never heard him play or sing better, especially with Gurf adding some licks. We really enjoyed the evening. Keep us posted on any new events. Teri Sarver

Thanks for including J.T. Wright and Solstice in the H.A.A.M mix last night! We loved the Amsterdam and were honored to be part of the talent you had on stage last night. We hope to hear and see you again soon. Great Job and thanks again for helping Austin Musicians!
Karen, it was a real pleasure to finally meet you last night after having heard nothing but wonderful things about you for so long. I hope our paths can cross again soon. Have a fabulous weekend -- Jean
Karen, sorry I haven't seen much of you guys lately. I still haven't gotten back in the groove, but I'm happy to be taking pictures when I am out. Thanks for the kind words!!!
Three highly praised Americana songwriters hailing from the distant corners of North America - Roger Marin from Ontario - Adam Carroll from Texas - Gordie Tentrees from the Yukon - tour each others home turf sharing and exploring new stages and audiences, benefiting from fan bases each has worked hard to develop on their own.
Adam Carroll has toured the northern provinces and festivals with Roger Marin and this is a return engagement to The Saxon Pub for the trio songwriter roadshow. Austin nod and approval came when the Nov. 11, 2007 performance attracted several notable Austin songwriters and musicians, one of whom sat in for part of the show ..
It was so good to see you and Kim!! What a rare occurance for us all to be at someone else's gig instead of working. It was cool. We hope hope to see you both soon.
