Special to the Herald

Knoxville Singers/Songwriters, Karen E. Reynolds & Kirk Fleta present a special evening of music at Hellbender Grill in Gatlinburg on April 30th at 7pm.

Reynolds, an award winning singer songwriter, is better known locally for her clear and powerful voice and her ceaseless work in promoting independent and local musicians via her radio program, Writer's Block, which is broadcast regionally on WDVX. However, this is just scratching the surface of this Knoxville native's interests.

She has performed in prestigious festivals, is a regular at premier venues and has shared the stage with some of the best in the industry, establishing herself as one of their peers. Immersed in music, Reynolds is an established songwriter and performer in Nashville and as a music industry consultant, producer, promoter, agent or publicist, has worked with internationally known artists and even teaches songwriting and music business. She is a mentor for the Country Music Hall of Fame's prestigious, "Words & Music In Schools" program and was honored this past season for her work there, by joining Trisha Yearwood and others in concert at the Ford Theatre in Nashville.
