Overview

Hey there! Are you looking for someone to set the tone for your event? Be the soothing background music? Provide some entertainment while people can still hold a conversation? I’m your gal! Singing while playing keyboard, I sing soulful, contemporary ambience music. I can do pop covers, soul, jazz standards, or a mixture of all of these. Think Adele, Alicia Keys, Colbie Callait, Sara Bareilles and Norah Jones. Solo gigging for 14 years, I have an extensive repertoire and can take requests for any event. Please let me make YOUR event special. I cannot wait to work with you!

The perfect wedding soundtrack

Not only was Kimberly the perfect addition to my wedding as a musician, she was gracious, professional, and added to the cheer of the occasion. Anyone looking for live music for any occasion, especially the special ones would massively benefit from having Kimberly be a part of it.

What to expect

If you hire me, you will get an incredibly easy experience. I will come prepared with a set list to fit your event and I only require minimal space and set up. I also provide all of my own equipment, including sound. I've received many compliments on how my music has set the tone and ambience for events and I pride myself on being able to add to the occasion without taking center stage. I'm happy to learn songs specific to your occasion and I will play songs from all popular genres. Let me make your next event special!

About

Kimberly is no stranger to performing. She has been playing and singing for audiences for the past 20 years and has also recorded 3 albums of original music. In addition to a degree in music, she spent 3 years in Nashville pursuing the singer/songwriter dream, writing and singing with other artists to hone her craft. With over 150 songs in her repertoire, she has had hundreds of performances under her belt and loves to make each one special. Kimberly has done it all: restaurants, weddings, corporate events, wine parties, cocktail hour, you name it! She loves to take requests and play a variety of popular songs from pop/soul to rock to country to jazz standards. She would love sing for you!

Additional booking notes

All I need is to be close to an outlet and have enough space for my microphone and keyboard. I will bring the rest!
