“Karen sings of love lost and found, of courage, of believing in yourself and of overcoming odds. And this exceptional woman is living
proof of taking a chance and making a dream come true.” ~T. Maloney

“A super musical performance: Karen Jacobsen, in a spectacular gown, is beautiful, funny, a lovely light-fingered pianist and a terrific singer with a fine clear voice who writes melodically original personal songs giving glimpses of her life and relationships…She totally engages her audience with her charm, her voice and her wit…and she can hold a note like Jerry Colonna…It’s a treat to be entertained by this talented, lovely woman. Catch her if you can. It’s one of the best performances of the decade.” Shepard~Richmond

“With Melting Moments, Karen Jacobsen shows us that her talents go far beyond directing traffic.” ~L. Katulka

“Her songs are catchy, melodic, timeless pop, kind of like Billy Joel would sing if she were a tall, blonde Australian woman. Karen has shared the stage with Norah Jones, Christopher Cross, Neil Sedaka, Delta Goodrem, Jars of Clay, Three Dog Night, Deborah Cox, Spyro Gyra and her songs have been heard on Dawson’s Creek and NBC’s Passions.” ~E. Thomas
