Kari Smith gathers crowds with her fresh vocal style and contagious smile, whether it's local fans in a crowded coffee shop, or on stage performing for thousands. Rather than waiting to be discovered, Kari finds her audience in local and regional venues, and fills her time outside of performing with writing, recording, and teaching music.
In 2005, she independently released EP "go with you". In August 2006, she followed up with an independently released full-length album, self-titled "Kari". Her third record “Gypsy of Love” was released in December 2008 by Music Row producer / engineer Dennis Money.
Her first TV appearance in October 2007 featured acoustic performances of her original music on PBS’s “The Music Seen”. She has appeared on CBS's “Virginia This Morning” in January 2008, August 2017, and January 2018.
Kari made the move from Richmond, VA to Nashville, TN in 2006 to further her pursuit of performing and writing. After 10 years in Nashville, Kari returned to her native Virginia in 2016 and is maintaining a busy schedule of live music performances.
Kari performs with other bands in a variety of genres as a vocalist, keyboardist, and rhythm guitarist. Her powerful rendition of the National Anthem has been heard at baseball games, national concerts, an Extreme Fighting Championship in Richmond, VA's Coliseum, and the Toughest Cowboy rodeo in Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. Since 2004, she has performed nearly 1,000 shows in over 170 venues in 15 states.
