WORDS ABOUT KIMMER’S MUSIC

"Kimmer’s music is a delight - refreshingly original - I’m one of her biggest fans."  - Peter Madcat Ruth

"Kimmerjae is a fantastic musician who has developed her own unique style of song writing. Her intricate guitar playing is full of heart with driving, gutsy, time teasing emotion. She is a truly original lyricist and composer whose music is sculpted for the spirits of the feeling world."  - Ty Burhoe

"Kimmerjae is an engaging singer and guitarist who composes some of the most arresting, complex and beautiful music I have heard.  She utilizes complex rhythms (shifting meters and other techniques) and harmonic structures (chord changes) without drawing attention to them - there is no sense of difficulty, in fact her arrangements perfectly support her engaging lyrics, fascinating melodies and superb vocal style.  And as a guitarist, and an avid listener, it's not often that I hear guitar stylisms that seem new and unique to me, so I was surprised to hear it in a local artist - Kimmer is one of the most accomplished acoustic guitar stylists I have heard, not just recently, but ever. "

- Dan Fairchild

"Secret contains highlights from her 33 year songwriting career. The album features musicians Ty Burhoe, Mark Diamond, Mark Harris, Mitchell Long, Peter Stokes, Jon Stubbs and Andy Weyl. Hearing Kimmer live leaves me feeling a strong sense of community and hope for the world. Engineer/producer Jon Stubbs and mixer Mark Fuller convey the strength of Kimmer's live performance as she delves deeply into the great mystery ". 

- Zach Johnson - DJ, KGNU

"She's like a river. She's complex, but friendly, and happy. There's a message there. It's from her authentic life. If you listen carefully you'll get it in your body... It stretches you, it brings you alive." -  Katharine Kaufman
