KAREN TWEED'S MAY MONDAY
8.30pm, Rodewald Suite, Philharmonic Hall
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The mercurial accordion player and founding member of the Poozies, Karen Tweed teamed up with the highly respected Finish Pianist Timo Alakotila to form May Monday. They are now receiving phenomenal praise, and accolades for their artistic grace, beauty, and breaking down of musical barriers.
Tweed's effervescent playing reflects her wide, and varied personal musical tastes. She moves with ease from emotive, and soulful melodies to vibrant, dynamic, and occasionally wonky, and offbeat accordion lines. Never one to stand still for too long her desire to keep musically moving has seen her appear on over 30 albums, so far the artists that she has worked with read like a who's who of the late 20th Century, and early 21st Century contemporary folk circuit. Her haunting, and versatile playing has enhanced the sound of many a fine band.
