Karen Jacobsen to Join Nelson Aspen at October 16 Cabaret Show

Karen Jacobsen

Following Anita Gillette and Colleen Zenk, Nelson Aspen rounds out his trio of Cabaret guest stars with acclaimed singer/songwriter Karen Jacobsen, who will pop up in his October 16 performance at Don't Tell Mama.

Aussie born Jacobsen, dubbed "The Dashboard Diva" and "The GPS Girl" is best known to millions of drivers for her anonymous work as the voice of the navigational device "Siri," but wait til you hear her sing! (And, of course, there is a connection to the world of soaps: with her songs having been included on soundtracks to shows like Dawson's Creek and Passions.) Karen, also a sought after motivational speaker, is a popular cabaret singer on the NYC circuit, having recently performed at the Triad Theater.

"I met Karen through my work with Australian Television," Nelson says, "and we hit it off immediately. Much of my show is about the influences of TV and pop culture and she really 'gets' it. In fact, she's a bit of a modern-day Olivia Newton-John!"

To reserve your seats for one of Nelson's upcoming shows at Don't Tell Mama in New York, call (212) 757-0788 (after 4 p.m. daily) or visit donttellmamanyc.com. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for a 7 p.m. performance. Expect to see some other familiar faces in the audience.
