Nov. 1997- I just saw Karen Savoca with Suzzy Roche and Susan Piper
at the Appel Farm Arts Center. I was especially impressed with Karen.. I know 
she has a CD out- I heard one of the
songs once on public radio, and she talked about it. But I don't know
the label, or where she is from. She had a bass/guitar player with her
who was fantastic, while she mostly just handled various percussion
and the vocals. The stuff was somewhat commercial, I suppose, sort of
like a Suzanne Vega crossed with Sarah McLachlan? I want to find her CD myself..

I wasn't real familiar with any of them, except Suzzy as part of the
Roche sisters. Karen had Peter Heitzman with her, a marvelously talented bass 
and guitar player. All three women
were very enjoyable, with poignant songs and great between-song tales
and interaction from Susan and Suzzy. I thought Karen sounded like she
had commercial potential.
