Music Style/Genre
Fanciful and sweetly regretful, Kathy Zimmer´s album ´´Spare Key´´ is what you get when you cross 70´s singer-songwriter sensibilities with modern perspectives, all the while trusting a unique girl to dish out the colorfully tasty results. ´´Cosmopolitan folk´´ is Kathy´s brand of sophisticated noise.

Full Bio
Raised in a rural Nebraska town with an entire population of 160 people, Kathy Zimmer grew up singing folk music with a musical family. She learned guitar at an early age and accompanied herself as she sang for church services and various small town gigs, including rodeos, parades and county fairs.
Determined to travel the length of Nebraska State Highway 2 in order to experience the rest of the world, the winding road of Kathy Zimmer’s musical explorations eventually led her to classical music. With that layer of influence she now creates music she calls “cosmopolitan folk”—music that is sophisticated yet naïve, polished but quirky. “Cosmopolitan folk” ends up sounding reminiscent of the days when female singer/songwriters were at the height of their creative powers (think 1970s folk-pop warblers Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez and Laura Nyro.)
Kathy Zimmer is astonished to wake up every morning and find herself now a resident of New York City. She performs often with her two backup singers, the Sugar Bowls, and her band, the Sunshine Banned. She has independently released three albums, all to critical acclaim--Under Your Spell, dreamin´ and Spare Key (produced by Julian Velard). She is a featured artist on www.jeffbuckley.com.

Best compliment
Nov. 26, 2007, Mike Mineo, www.ObscureSound.com
“... moments of instrumental elegance now are intertwined cohesively with Zimmer’s seemingly natural use of story-led lyrical intricacy. It makes Spare Key something of a breakout album, both stylistically and commercially.” |

Worst diss
Nov. 27, 2007, David Cowling,
www.americana-uk.com
´´Perhaps it is the flimsy lyrics or the uninspired backing which Zimmer frames these songs with. Like a clipped lawn and regimented flower beds there is little room for the ramshackle beauty of real nature no place for those little mistakes that can add so much. No, just an impeccable voice, shiny muted trumpet, bass notes that vibrate well within tolerance, the very thing for your coffee house/bistro/dinner party.´´ |
