Warrior of the Heart – Singer/Songwriter Karen Therese’s “Warrior of the Heart” is a self-styled collection of “Indian Soul.” Combining Native American music with blues, gospel and soul, Warrior of the Heart was nominated for 2 Native American Grammys. Therese’s strong melodic voice and powerful lyrics are near perfection and are served well in an unmatchable collaborative force with world-renowned musicians, including bassist John Gagan, percussionist Marc Clark and guitarists Jamie Chez and Daniel Ward.

“My love is like a river that runs free, strong enough to love you, gentle enough to let you be no widest canyon or deepest ocean can measure how I feel for you baby, trust in me and let this river flow free”
“And now they know that love’s the only thing that matters in this life forever and ever” lyrics from Warrior of the Heart
