in a nutshell
As Americana-UK says, Kathy Zimmer “... effectively pulls off the trick of sounding
warmly familiar and yet entirely new, blending musical genres and layering
instrumentation to create sumptuous songs.”
NYC-based indie singer/songwriter Kathy Zimmer released the EP Debris and a single, "I Am a Queen Already" in 2024, together with her band Eric Sanderson and Tom Zovich (of Augustines and Pela). The flavor of the music is a lovely, shapeshifting voice singing descriptive lyrics set to indie rock. Something different.
A native of really rural Nebraska, Kathy holds a Master's Degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music but has been making music in NYC for awhile now. A 12" vinyl record of two EPs entitled White Noise/Sparkling Smile is available for purchase online and at her shows, and her music is streaming everywhere.
Rock n' Reel Magazine has declared her the "latter day Joan Baez". The Roots Music Report proclaims, "At various turns enchanting, haunting and soothing--and at times a bit of all of these--Ms. Zimmer's sophisticated song crafting never fails to charm." Americana-UK says, "It is a measure of Zimmer's bravery and quality as a lyricist that she tackles real-life tales so well."
