Words and Music by Tom Kimmel 8p.m.(doors open 7:15p.m.) at St. Peters Episcopal Church Campus – Burns Hall
Singer, songwriter, poet, teacher and entertainer, TOM KIMMEL, makes a special appearance in a pre-festival Words & Music event. Kimmel has released seven solo albums, published a book of poems and led songwriting workshops and classes around the country and in Europe.
An award winning artist in his own right, Tom’s compositions have been recorded by a number of major artists including Johnny Cash, Linda Ronstadt, Joe Cocker, and Randy Travis. His songs have also been featured in motion pictures such as Twins, Serendipity, and The Runaway Bride (starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere).
A self-described “closet poet” until the publication of The Sweetest and the Meanest, Tom is a featured writer at book festivals and writing retreats. His poems have been published in a number of poetry and literary journals.
Tom’s music, poetry and stories have been said to “invite his listeners toward a sweet introspection, making for a curious depth of feeling that often surprises them.”
