About three and a half months ago I met Karla Rexer, a local singer-songwriter. She performed mostly original songs, on guitar and piano, but the few covers she sang were different: if she hadn’t identified them as such, I’d have thought they were her own.
Karla recently started hosting a weekly artist showcase featuring a set by a different local musician each time; Stanley Mark Herr and Tanya MacLean stand out as favourites. She’s also got regular gigs around town, including being one of the Mongolian Grill’s Saturday Night Divas, and she’s preparing a CD for release next year.
