Lizzie Karr’s influences range from Ani DiFranco to James Brown. The Godfather of Soul’s funkiness is apparent in Karr’s latest single, “Run Like A Girl,” which trades DiFranco-style staccato verses for punchy horn lines. The Bay Area artist recently toured the Pacific Northwest in support of her new record Like It’s Bad. “I was tired of being pretty,” Karr sings, “so I cut off my hair / in the bathroom mirror / visited the neighbors upstairs.” Support the grassroots fundraising campaign for this funky “girl next door” here.
