Tom Kimmel

Singer, songwriter, entertainer, poet and teacher, Tom Kimmel is all of these things and more than their sum. Since 1980 dozens of Tom’s compositions have been recorded by a host of major artists, including Linda Ronstadt, Johnny Cash, Joe Cocker, Shawn Colvin and Randy Travis. They’ve been featured in films from Twins to Serendipity and Runaway Bride, and in television shows from Captain Kangaroo and Touched By An Angel to Dawson’s Creek.

Once an eclectic rock and roller, Tom found his voice as a singer-songwriter while touring with Nanci Griffith in the early 90′s. A New Folk winner at the Kerrville Folk Festival in 1993, he began performing solo, stressing a lean, acoustic-centered approach to his music and bringing a poignant and humorous spirit to his poetry and storytelling. An award winning artist in his own right, Tom has released seven solo albums, published a book of poems and led songwriting workshops and classes around the country and in Europe.
