The Karen Hudson River Band is a female-fronted, rockin' alt-country band serving up classic country covers and honky-tonk standards, with hook laden originals that feel comfortable between those famliar old tunes.

Hudson performs her urban cowgirl brand of country-rock music, folk, and pop regularly in NYC and around the tri-state area, including shows at The Lakeside Lounge, The Parkside Lounge, The Living Room, CB’s 313 Gallery, Continental, Acme Underground, The Cutting Room, Sidewalk Cafe, and Hank’s Saloon. The Karen Hudson River Band, a real live honky-tonk outfit, includes Skip Krevens on lead guitar (Western Caravan), Jon Light on pedal steel (formerly of the New Jack Ramblers), Joe Kross on drums (Steam Donkeys), Skip Ward on bass, and Mo Russell on background vocals and percussion. These fine folks are some of the best twang warriors around. They know what supports the singer, serves the song, and entertains the throngs. Hudson’s silvery vocals and easy country-rock style--part Chryssie Hynde, part Patsy Cline--lay comfortably on a bed of weeping pedal steel.

In the past few years, Karen has shared the stage with local luminaries Buddy Woodward and the Nitro Express, the Jimmy Nations Combo, Demolition String Band, Golden and Carillo, and Lenny Kaye, and has opened for such artists as Walter Salas-Humara and Kate Jacobs.
