    "Great seeing you, Karen!", Trooper wrote about Karen Fowlie after her band's performance at the 2011 Great Canadian Bike Rally. Karen went on tour for two weeks this summer, playing her original music in shows across Western Canada. Her final performance in the "Be a Trooper" tour was on main stage in Merritt opening for the great Canadian classic rock band, Trooper. . Karen isn't a stranger to the music scene - her songs have obtained notable local and national exposure. You can hear music from Fowlie's last CD, "Pushing the Edge" (Producer Dale Penner – Nickelback, Matthew Good Band) on three compilation CDs, the 2010 "Thunderstruck 9" extreme snowmobiling DVD and several songs have been featured in the Province Newspaper Playlist. Consumers of Hevy D popcorn across Canada have downloaded her songs, Karen's music represented BC in a Trade Mission to Japan and Fowlie has even received an accolade by BC's Attorney General for her songwriting. . With an energetic stage presence and superb delivery of original songs, Karen Fowlie delivers an exciting show not to be missed. From shows at large festivals like the Great Canadian Bike Rally, the Winter Olympics Torch Run and Plaza of Nations Stage to more intimate solo performances for the City of North Vancouver and private house concerts, Fowlie's love of performing is evident. .
