After two years of touring behind her critically-acclaimed debut
solo album, Veering from the Wave (Imaginary
Road/PolyGram, now swallowed by Universal/Seagram's), former
ex-Story vocalist Jennifer Kimball is thriving musically and
getting ready to record her next album. After thirteen years
singing in her former band, the Story (which she and Jonatha
Brooke started in the late '80s), Jennifer has established
herself as a first-rate songwriter and solo performer. Story fans
already familiar with the unmistakable sound of her harmony
vocals, the ache in her soaring soprano and her dry sense of
humor will not be surprised to hear the influence of bluegrass,
rock, classical, and folk music in her new songs. Always one for
musical surprises, Jenn, a long-time Boston resident has been
involved in a new band called Wayfaring Strangers which dances
stylistically between Billie Holiday and Bill Monroe. And
Jennifer's background vocals can be heard on many new releases
including: Catie Curtis, Patty Larkin, Lucy Kaplansky, Peter
Mulvey, Kris Delmhorst and David Wilcox.
Winner of a 1999 Kahlua Boston Music Award, nominated for two
other Boston Music Awards and for a Gavin Triple 'A' Artist and
Album of the Year award as well, Jennifer also performed at the
'98 and '99 Lilith Fair and the '99 Newport Folk Festival. She
has been featured on NPR's Morning Edition, etown with Marc
Cohn, and in Acoustic Guitar magazine. Jennifer returns to
Connecticut with the extraordinary electric guitar player, Marc
Shulman (Suzanne Vega, Jewel, the Story), and her trademark
cornucopia of little instruments: baritone ukulele, strumstick,
acoustic guitar and piano.
"Kimball strikes her own singular balance of hooky melodies and
pop orchestration with eccentric rhythms, delicious dissonances,
and off-the-chart chord moves. Kimball's singing is gorgeous
through-out, her lyrics are literate and true, and her playing on
acoustic guitar, baritone ukulele, and strumstick is full of
surprises and amazingly sophisticated considering that she only
started to play these instruments seriouly in the last three
years." - Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers, Acoustic Guitar, March 1999
