Channeling Stage Fright Into a Commanding Stage Presence

Portland Oregon based blues vocalist and songwriter Karen Lovely has a commanding stage presence that matches her equally powerful voice.  On this edition of GLT's Talkin' Blues, Lovely tells Jon Norton how she has learned to channel stage fright into that commanding stage presence.  She also talks about
her brand new album, titled "10 Miles of Bad Road."

Jon Norton was the program director and morning host at WGLT and WCBU until January 2026, when he retired.
