About Kathy Zimmer

NYC-based indie singer/songwriter Kathy Zimmer is celebrating the release of a new EP, “Debris”, together with her band Eric Sanderson and Tom Zovich (of Augustines and Pela). The flavor of the music is a lovely voice singing descriptive lyrics set to indie rock. Something different. A native of really rural Nebraska, Kathy Zimmer holds a Master’s Degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music but has been a New Yorker for awhile now. A 12” vinyl record of two EPs entitled White Noise/Sparkling Smile will be available for purchase at her shows. 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.” www.kathyzimmermusic.com youtube.com/kathrynzimmer2

Kathy's Experience

I’ve been an entirely freelance musician for years. I perform with my band, perform in a variety of other professional positions including at churches and events, and I teach private music lessons (voice is my specialty, but I’ll also teach guitar and piano.) I’ve written songs for other artistic projects including movie soundtracks, plays and live old-time radio shows. I also do backup vocal arrangements for my own and other artists’ songs.
