Karen Elson at Le Poisson Rouge on March 22, 2010

From LePoissonRouge.com:

Karen Elson's forthcoming album The Ghost Who Walks marks the debut solo release from the singer/songwriter. After finding success as a model at an early age, Karen has kept her musical career on something of a slow burn until now. She's been garnering widespread critical acclaim as a founding member of Manhattan's celebrated political cabaret troupe The Citizens Band for several years, and her beguiling voice has appeared on recordings from Robert Plant and Cat Power, but it wasn't until 2009 that Karen entered the Third Man Studio in Nashville, Tennessee to record 11 of her own songs. With production by Jack White, the forthcoming album is set to be released on Third Man/XL in the summer. Karen Elson's performed at Le Poisson Rouge on March 22, 2010. This was first New York City show as a solo artist.
