Self taught on guitar and drawing on such varied influences as Dave Matthews Band, Sonic Youth, Warren Haynes, Bela Fleck, Martin Sexton, Dinosaur Jr. & Trey Anastasio, Kimbo is a handwritten poem in a world of power point presentations. With a powerfully haunting voice, a unique rhythmic guitar style which avoids conventional chords, & evocative, thought provoking lyrics, her style is all her own.
Kimbo was transplanted smack dab in the middle of the Salt Lake City music scene in 2010. Originally from Austin, Texas, she immediately fell in love with the mountains and the people. "I haven't met a mean person yet. Even in the very competitive outdoor world, everyone is so chill about life here. It's contagious."
Currently, Kimbo is hangin' with some solid musicians from Salt Lake. Clint on Keyboards, Alex on Bass and Brad on drums. "I feel so good when I'm playing with these guys. Everything falls in to place so beautifully. They're fantastic and I'm lucky that I have the opportunity to create with them." Exploding onto the scene quickly has landed these four a spot at a great festival in Las Vegas, Nevada over Labor Day Weekend. They will continue to play, write, record and tour whenever the opportunities arise. Keep a close watch on their music...soon to be in a city near you.
"Spokes", Kimbo's debut album, was produced by Mark Hallman and released April 22, 2008 by Sunny Groves Music.
