The Artist

Kari Shaff is an Austin-based vocalist with a velvet tone

and a vintage swing sensibility. Her sound bridges the

sophistication of classic jazz with the heart of country,

blues, and soul—each expressed through her own

unique musical projects.

With Kari Shaff & Her High Standards, she delivers

torch songs and swing-era favorites with elegance

and emotional depth. With The Country Clubbers,

she dives into classic country and jump blues, while

Hog Branch brings out her funkier, groove-driven side.

Across every setting, Kari’s voice remains unmistakable

—supple, sincere, and steeped in feeling.

Whether performing in an intimate jazz club or under

the bright Austin sky, Kari Shaff brings timeless music

to life with warmth, wit, and heart.
