Gumballs

What if we actually told the truth? Blending her wickedly wry sense of humor with unflinching honesty, Karen Jonas dives past autobiographical and into existential with this collection of deeply personal poems. Ghosts of her past appear in a series of sensory vignettes - from her early childhood experiences with Catholicism and family to post-divorce sex and poverty. Karen's insights about her experiences as an artist and a woman reveal a universal humanity, at times beautiful, sad, or laugh out loud funny.




Karen Jonas is an award-winning Country and Americana singer and songwriter. Touring endlessly since her debut in 2014, Karen has released five albums to international acclaim. She lives in Fredericksburg, Virginia with her fiancé, four kids, two cats, and a dog.
