The secret is out. Karen Lee, a Kearney, Nebraska singer-songwriter and member of multiple bands in the area (including The OK Sisters and Raw Slang) is set to release her first solo album, 'Little Secret', in May 2018. The album was recorded by Tone Tree Audio, LLC at A NOTE-Worthy Studio in downtown Kearney, mixed by Tone Tree Audio and mastered by Saff Mastering.
Lee's skillful writing combines witty lyrics, catchy hooks and a mixture of multiple genres, including rock, folk and blues. The album includes an incredible array of musicians from Lee's bands and other Kearney-area musicians who add his or her own musicality to the eight varied tracks on the album.

On the recording and mixing process with Tone Tree Audio, LLC, Lee said, "The minute I walked in for my first session with Tone Tree Audio, I knew this was going to be gold. Great vibe all around. It lived up to my expectations. So happy with my experience and this is where I will go for the next CD project, hands down!"
