Her most recent, The Adventurist, was released on Omnivore in 2017.

Whether it’s a ballad, a love song, or rocking on the edge, finding a soft spot in a hard world is what Kimm does best. In that way, her songs are a true reflection of her generous spirit as they keep giving you little gifts every time you hear them. It’s rare to find writer who that does it as well as she does. She is one-of-a-kind and a real musical treasure.
