An emotional and prolific singer songwriter, who just happens to be transgender, Kari finds her passion in telling her story and other reflective moments through songs for everyone to see themselves in. Her songwriting is transparent in its focus on the things that bring forth the angst in our lives, the profound moments that often go undetected to the highs of joyous realizations. Not restricted by boundaries of genre or style, Kari is able to reveal each song with authentic feels and truth. Kari is about the journey.
Her evolution from early Pop bands culminating with the Power Pop band TREND and then transitioning to front her band, Trans Central Station, was simply readying her for what would become Kari & the SweetspOts.
With influences ranging from Bowie to Gene Pitney, Chrissy Hynde to Roxie Music Kari strives for heartfelt connections through her lyrics and melodies that are wrapped up expertly and emotionally by the amazing SweetspOts.
