Press Reviews "This chick rocks it with great acoustic style...What an artist! Karla brings a distinctive Latin flavor to her brand of acoustic pop. Playing with her is Thomas van der Brook who makes beautiful and clever use of his violin by plugging it in and at times adding pedal effects... I really enjoyed her show."GoGirlsMusic.com
