Joy Zimmerman Music Biography
Joy Zimmerman is a dynamic singer|songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who loves performing solo, in the Joy Zimmerman & Jimmy Dykes duo and with a full band.
Joy brings compelling vocals, inventive songwriting, and multiple instruments to her engaging performances. Her eclectic music began with violin lessons before kindergarten, evolved with guitar lessons decades later, and springs from plenty of soulful moments in between.
Joy has five albums of original music--two recorded and co-produced with Jimmy Dykes in Kansas City at Weights and Measures Soundlab and three recorded and produced by Fett in Nashville at Azalea Studios. Her songwriting awards include American Songwriter Lyric Contest Honorable Mention and five Walnut Valley Festival New Song Showcase wins.
Previous venues include Knuckleheads, The InterContinental Hotel, Park Place, Plaza Live!, The Raphael Hotel, Stone Room Concerts (Falls Church, VA), The Buffalo Room, Open Range Concert Series, The Mark Concert Series, Green Guitar Folk Series, Local Life Third Fridays, Downtown Overland Park Farmer's Market, Chick Events Handmade and Vintage, Ginkgo's Concert Series (St. Paul, MN), Louisville Center for the Arts (Louisville, CO), CommuniTea, Calibration Brewery, The Plaza Art Fair, The RecordBar, house concerts, private corporate events, fundraisers, weddings and retreats
"Joy has a wonderfully unique way of connecting to her audience that I have seen no other performer do...she engages every audience and wraps everyone in a velvet blanket of beautiful music. "
~Peggy Kelly, Open Range Concert Series
"As a songwriter, Joy Zimmerman is equally comfortable tackling styles from bluegrass, folk and blues to pop, rock and country-as well as more esoteric genres ranging from disco to klezmer...but still makes each song her own."
~Fett, Independent producer/engineer, Azalea Music Group, Nashville
"To listen to Joy play and sing, to be carried along through her ordinary/wondrous journey, and to hear echos of your own in it...There's so much about her work that resonates with me at a level even deeper that I can articulate."
~Erika Marksbury
