I posted on Thumbtack that I was looking for an acoustic guitarist for a 75 - 100 person cocktail hour to play for just an hour. Kimberly reached out to me and asked if I would consider an keyboardist. I am so thankful she did. As this was a charity event, the fee fit nicely into my budget and it was the perfect background music for people to mingle and hear some great songs we all recognize. THANK YOU, Kimberly.

It was such a pleasure to play for your anniversary. Thank you for including me in your lovely event!
One of the greatest voices out there, and even better, she does it with genuine feeling and raw emotion. Listening to her voice is like coming home after a long day.

I've been lucky enough to see Kimberly work her musical magic across a myriad of stages from weddings to concert halls. No matter the size of the venue, she consistently draws her audience in with powerful but intimate vocals and stunning piano arrangements. Her repetoir includes contemporary takes on classics as well as stunning original material. Time and time again, Kimberly has proven to be a master of her craft, adding impactful musical moments to any setting she enters.
