Press

“Karen Reed and Crossbow played two shows at our establishment (Showplace Dinner Theatre in The Black Forest Inn) and quite simply, brought the house down with their incredible musicianship, professional stage presence and timely audience rapport. Karen is undoubtedly one of the finest fiddlers in Canada. Her vast repertoire of material ranges from Irish jigs to Quebecois fiddling and everything in between. The audience loved it. I made sure to book them back as soon as their show was over. Keith Burton Entertainment Director Showplace Dinner Theatre ”
