Viral
sensation and charismatic entertainer Karen Waldrup has experienced the
benefits of the power of positive music countless times over her career
and over the weekend in Dallas was no exception. Waldrup was scheduled
to play at The Prophet Bar in the musically rich Deep Ellum
neighborhood of Dallas, but due to unforeseen issues between
the venue and the fire marshal, the show was abruptly cancelled.
Waldrup honored the VIP and elite VIP tickets on her tour bus and after
that, she went outside to find a line of hundreds of fans requesting
the show to go on. Waldrup performed her 70-minute set on the street
outside the venue with no mic, no bathroom and no bar.
“I’m not too proud to play any stage. Whether I’m finally getting to
open for George Strait or walking out of the tour bus to play on the
concrete of a closed down bar,” expresses an emotional Waldrup. “If
people come to hear me, I pick up my guitar and I play. That’s what I
do- no matter what.”

Dallas despite the short comings of the Prophet Bar facility issues. The
fans greatly appreciated the altered performance which was great and
did not disappoint.
“The night was magical and unforgettable,” exclaims Waldrup. “What a lesson in the power of music!” About Karen Waldrup
