She has two full-length studio records of original material, a collection of covers and compilation tracks, and a couple of EPs and singles on her own label Little Cowgirl Records.

Guillorn will be playing electric guitar, and will be joined by Lys Guillorn & Her Band’s bassist, Eric Bloomquist (also of Bronson Rock, Chica Non Grata.)

She also hosts a biweekly show on CygnusRadio.com called The Word According to KP focusing on written and spoken word of all kinds and types as well as lyrically driven music.
Karen is currently an arts journalist for the New Haven Independent and has been published in local magazines such as The Cut-Up and Put Down Your Phone, New Haven. She also teaches journalism in the Creative Writing program at ACES- Educational Center for the Arts in New Haven.
We ask respect for social distancing, please, and conscientiousness on masks. Not everybody is vaccinated yet and our venue wants to advise caution and consideration for others. Masks are optional outside but required if you go inside Best Video.
No cover charge but please bring cash for the musicians’ tip jar. This has been a real hard time for musicians, almost all of whom have seen their live performance income dry up. (There will also be a Best Video tip jar for donations.)
Parking available behind Best Video and on Thornton Street.
