Karen

I love living in Northwest Arkansas because of its proximity to beautiful rivers and mountains, impressive museums, and the slower pace of life. As a musician with a deep passion for music and arts, I’ve always been drawn to connect with other creative individuals in meaningful ways.

The idea for Backroom Social Club came from a need my partner and I saw in the community: there were few spaces where people could gather outside of work or dining, and even fewer places where folks could engage in conversations, enjoy art and music, or showcase their talents in a welcoming, professional environment. We wanted to create something more consistent— a space where creativity could thrive, and people could come together to share ideas, support local talent, and build connections.

I'm passionate about fostering creativity and community, and providing a safe and professional space for those who want to experience and contribute to local culture.
