Kari Hlavinka

Kari has been a member of the Pasadena Hometown Opry since 1996. She was a member of the Ogden Jubilee in Livingston for many years. 

“I have been honored and blessed to work with some incredible singers and musicians over the years,” she said. “Singing with Randy Cornor, Randy Meadows, Tony Booth, Dennis Ivey, Freddie Pate and many others has been an awesome highlight for me.” She sings in her church choir as well as the praise band at Sunset Methodist in Pasadena. Her 30-plus year career has enabled her to cross paths with many great singers and pickers that she is proud to call friends.
