“Kari Holmes performs a free concert in Downtown Saline Thursday evening.
Holmes, a country, rock and pop singer/songwriter inspired by artists like Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson and Adele, takes the Summer Music Series stage at 7 p.m. on South Ann Arbor Street.
A performer since she was four years old, Holmes has written over 50 songs so far.
"Writing songs is a way to express my love, heartbreaks, joys, concerns, excitement, doubt, friendship, etc.," Holmes writes in her biography found at Reverbnation.com. "Basically, it's a way to express how I react to what life gives me...good and bad! Through them, I hope to touch the hearts of everyone."
Holmes and her band have played all over Michigan and have made the trip to Nashville, too.
If there severe weather, the show could be moved to Liberty School.
Artists from the Two Twelve Arts Center will be at the concert to provide materials for children who wish to make street art.”
“Kari is very energetic singer songwriter. It would not be fair to try to pin her sound down. Her lyrics reflect life experiences
well beyond her years. A pleasure to work with.”

“Kari has that rare mix of great storytelling, incredible vocal ability and live performance chops that easily sets her apart from her peers. Her songs are based on her experiences and are immediately identifiable as truth in life’s journey for all of us. You will immediately be both warmed and awakened by her ability to convey those emotions we all identify with in her music. Get a copy of her songs. Even more so, make it a point to see a live performance when her tour comes to your town. You will definitely be treated to not just something special but to something new.”
