My Memorial Tribute to Karen Kane
Karen Kane passed away on March 7, 2024, just before International Women's Day. It is fitting that her legacy will be forever attached to Women's History Month. Karen audaciously became an audio engineer and music producer at a time when women were shut out of those aspects of the music business. When I returned to music in 2007 after a 15-year hiatus, Karen was the only producer I wanted to record with. I deeply admired her work - after all, she'd recorded with people like Tracy Chapman and Janis Ian. Karen wound up producing several singles and a full-length album for me over the years, and I am very proud of all the music we recorded together. The making of Glimmer In the Dark was a particularly wonderful, magical experience that I'll always cherish. I'd like to think that the Carolina Music Awards Producer of the Year statuette she took home the following year was partly due to her great work on Glimmer.
Right now, I can't quite believe that she's gone, and in a big way, she IS still with us because of the music. But Rock and Roll Heaven also has a new denizen. Karen, I hear that the music up there is great, and I hope you're enjoying it.

Anna's new song "Aeolian Hall" has made the short list for The Aeolian's National Songwriting Contest! The contest offers a platform and showcase for artists to celebrate their creations, gain support through prizes, and showcase London as a UNESCO City of Music. It is also a way to celebrate Canada’s talented creatives and focus on inspiration during this especially challenging time.
