Kari
Gaffney, Kari-On Productions
Events tend to have a life of their own. That's why we take special
interest in your ideas and desires. Your vision is important.
Envisioning how your reception or event will unfold is your main
concern, which is why hiring experienced musicians is important
and our mantra.
You
don't want your event to fall apart because your entertainment
is inexperienced. We do a timeline, learn special songs, offer
suggestions, listen to input from the Event Planner, Individual,
Bride/Groom etc
but the best thing we offer is on the job
experience. The type of experience that helps you feel confident
we can roll with the spontaneous atmosphere of your event.
Our
roster of musicians create musical magic at elegant soirees, events
and special occasions all over the United States. Our clients
are national and so are our groups. All of Kari-On Productions
clients are nationally released and recognized industry musicians.
All have been played on national and international radio stations
and have toured the national circuit. So when hiring Kari-On Productions
for your next event, you can be assured you are getting the best.

"With maturity and confidence,
Gaffney derives the value of her interpretations from the potential
of each of the songs themselves, even as she is consistent with
her own voice that projects coolness within a haunting alto
range. Avoiding some of the vocal trickery that other singers
employ, mostly to draw attention to their technical strenghts
instead of the song's worth, Gaffney slowly and convincingly
lets a song unfold, letting it's lyrics and melody take
her along with it, even as she remains firmly in control of
its delivery." |

San Antonio Express News |
"Jazz
vocalist are expected to hit the right notes, or pursue another
line of work. Gaffney not only hits the right notes, she does
so with the skill of a weathered instrumentalist, making changes
that one would more often expect from a pianist or guitarist." |

"Gaffneys
ability to take a song
and fill it with heartfelt emotion and rhythmic sensibility
will be
the cornerstone of her success.
The captivating beauty and
purity of her voice appears at
ever turn."

"Whether it's the rich, resonant
tone of album opener, "Speak Low"
or the sounds of "Four", Gaffney
never misses the mark with her
vocal delivery".

"She is deserving of praise, with
a timbre that is smooth as glass.
Because of her vocal skills,
she has the potential to grab
cross-market sales like any
contemporary singer out there." |

Bill Frost
Salt Lake City Weekly
"Georgia isn't exactly known
as a hotbead for jazz, nor are
songs like Patsy Cline's "Walking
After Midnight" considered
candidates for jazzy makeovers,
Augusta chanteuse Kari Gaffney
has upended both theories. On
her latest disc, Satin Doll the
singer's smoky voice runs over
the works of Irving Berlin, Duke Ellington, Wes Montgomery
and
more like honey." |

"Kari has an attractive alto
voice and puts her material
through with conviction,
especially a very torchy take
on "Walking after Midnight". |

"West Coast Blues is as hip as it get's with Gaffney's
many talents merging to present this
tune sung on pitch (and) with clarity of expression, two
important elements found in every
good vocalist." |

"With a voice as low and mysterious as the mist on
a gloomy midnight, Gaffney makes the song's her own."
.........Her voice and rhythmic sensibility can take it
from there". |
