Next show: New York City, Tue 1 Dec
An underground indie folk artist.
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 is set to release a new EP, @LittleTornadoes, on Nov. 20. This EP was recorded with her band collaborators Eric Sanderson and Tom Zovich, as was the EP @Debris from 2024. The flavor of this music is a lovely, shapeshifting voice singing descriptive lyrics set to indie rock: something different. Kathy Zimmer is a professional musician in a variety of genres and venues in NYC. A 12” vinyl record of two EPs entitled @WhiteNoise @SparklingSmile is available for purchase. Eric Sanderson and Tom Zovich have toured extensively with the bands @Augustines and Pela. Their story is told in the movie RISE: The Story of Augustines. Rock n’ Reel Magazine has declared Zimmer 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.”
