Howdy --

Listening to "Ordinary Soldier" at the moment.

I haven't a clue how the music "business" works or doesn't work, but hope you can record some more great CDs....perhaps you already have.

Been listening to Veering from the Wave for ages, and wondering if you'd moved on from music until I finally ran across Oh Hear Us a while back.  So happy to see that you're planning a return to the studio in the near-future.  Thank you for the wonderful music... :)

Ahoy Jennifer-
I wish I could get to your show in Boston next week; it would be a treat of the finest kind. Keep up the soul-warming sound. Ditto on the sentiments expressed by Mr. Oz below...

Jack (FRED) RikerThursday, February 24th 2011 7:00PM

Hey There, long time....
Congrats on all of the great music, you always were an angel and sing like one too.

I haven't been in the PA loop, living in SF for all these years.
Let me know if you're ever playing a show, I'd love to come see it.
take care

Of course you know that part. I had never heard of the music or you and Jonatha Brooke. Your harmonys brought tears to my eyes. The music haunting, sad somehow. So beautiful. I think that giving money to artists as talented as you two and everyone else on that CD! is okay if you can do so, but I am an old man on SS. Not a complaint, just the fax maam. As I cannot support you financially, before I die I would like to thank you both for moving me in a way that I can only describe as 'heaven'. My heart, my soul, my very health all improved 1000 percent just to play that CD. I'm an old hard rocking hippy, how old? Warmed up the Doors at the Continental Roller Bowl in Santa Clara, CA. 1967 I believe, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. And am not often moved by 'soft' music, normally. But you ladies send me! Every time I listen to the Angel. And I'd just like to say, God bless you both! Thank you so much for finding each other to blend those beautiful harmonies. Good Job girls! You make my heart sing!  Oz

Dear Jennifer Kimball. I recently returned from 'hell' (pardon my French please); not really a nice place - hot! - and no music there! On my return to this plain I was given 'the Angel in the House' by 'the Story'.

Listening to Veering this morning. In my opinion one of the most beautifully written, played and mixed albums (still like to say albums) ever. Thanks Jennifer!

I'm so glad I found you, Jennifer! I just rediscovered Grace in Gravity after hearing the title track 19 years ago on the Anchorage local FM station during a 2-week trip there that was pivotal in my life. I got the title wrong and when I got back to DC couldn't remember the band name. I was gutted! Believe it or not, I've been looking for it on & off since with nothing but the wrong song/record name. Then, while I was reminiscing this morning about that time, I just checked youtube again (which I'd done about a dozen times before) and there you were! I have been bathing in the refreshing sonic beauty and complex harmonies of both your voices together and solo.  There is a simple and pure beauty to your voice both sonically and in your expression. Thank you, and I'm so glad I found you!

What a treat to hear you at Lizard Lounge, Cambridge 12/23/09, Jen.  The band, tight yet relaxed and sensitive, and your voice--the sound of white gold.

Hey Jenn -- I love your music - -big, big, big fan!!  Just stumbled on your website...Now going downstairs to put on Veering from the Wave which is already, oldfashionedly, in the cd player...

Hi Jennifer,
We met a long time ago in Jersey. Tom Hambridge introduced us and you know my brother Tommy MacDonald. I keep up with your music from time to time and enjoy hearing your voice. I hope all is well and ..... Hello.

Hi Jen,
Sounds like a great adventure, have a blast and keep me posted.  I have a few friends in Belfast, so if you get there....let me know.

Good Luck,

Wish you came out west. I would pay an obscene amount of $ for a ticket. Veering from the Wave has saved me from $$$ in therapy. Thanks for such great music and the work it takes to make it. I appreciate it.

We're really looking forward to the Boston T Party show with you, Rose Polenzani, Alastair Moock, and Tim Gearan on Feb. 27th.  Have been enjoying your music in any and all configurations for years.  This show should rock!

Jennifer: I had the great experience of watching you while recording "Veering From The Wave" while at BearTracks...I was one of the goofy gals in the office who made coffee and kept everyone from killing each other...I am happy to say I still have that CD and will be purchasing your two other releases shortly. Like the website and please keep making music as only you know how.

Hi Jenny,

Long time ago we  played music together  at PA- with  Rachel  Blain. I've  had  the Angel  in  my house  CD forever, but listened  again  today  and  it  brought back lots  of fun  memories.  Clearly  I  need to get updated!!! Anyway, just  a  sweet  hello from days gone  by,wishing  you and  all of those you  love much joy, health, peace,  and lots  of music.  Take good  care,

Dear Jennifer,

I just rediscovered your music.  Yes, I was yet another fan of The Story, saw you two perform at the Ben & Jerry's Folk Fest.  I kept up with Jonatha's music, but I wondered why I never really connected with any of the lyrics and harmonies that I so loved in the music of The Story. Apparently I was looking in the wrong place all this time.  It's so nice to hear those arrangements again. You have a wonderful warm voice and your lyric imagery is so beautiful and complex.  So glad to hear it all again, like coming in from the cold.

Thanks,
Ian Newbury

My husband and I are big fans--we met in a singing group and were bound by our great love of all things Jennifer,  Jonatha, and Duke.  One day, will you play on the West Coast?  Our little city of Eugene, Oregon will welcome you but we will drive for a slice of Boston folk heaven!

Jennifer M. KimballWednesday, August 15th 2007 3:35PM

I was a bit confused when I googled my name and all this information came up - but now it all makes sense.  I'll have to get ahold of some of your music.

Kudos on the great name!  :)

calvin knucklesWednesday, July 18th 2007 11:49PM

Howdy Jennifer!
One of your good fans... well you have numerous of those!
There is no need for me to stand out from them. We are all in search of those who portray the truth in their existence as it truly is. You have done that since the begining, and you have not opted to change for so called success. I Thank you for that. There is something that Brandi Carlile said when asked about her hopes and fears... that her biggest fear of success was being forced on her listeners.
She realized that in this day and age, folks have the right to choose what they listen to. Yet the commercialized standard lends itself to overuse.
Also, she feared that if her style was eventually seen as lacking, since she is herself as she had been from the beginning there would be nothing she could reinvent herself into to be acceptable. For she was all there was.
There are those who understand real expression. they are performing infront of crowds to be heard, and at times desiring nothing more than that. Take courage in knowing that you have helped lay the ground work for their expression. If only they knew how much! Hopefully I will be able to spare time out of my busy life this year to visit and see you express yourself once more... a friend by way of your voice and word. Calvin

Hi Jennifer: I saw you perform last at a house concert on Whidbey Isalnd, WA at Jennnifer and Jennifer's house. You are the only other person I know that knows Coney Island Washboard. My mom taught it to me when I was little. My mom died at Christmas 2003. I was thinking about her and that song and wondered what you were up to. Wonderful news you have a son and husband. I am deeply sorry that you have lost your mom at such a young age. I believe it's the hardest challenge I have had. Anyway much love and grace to you. I still listen to my Story CD every week and still love those harmonies. Take Care

Matt GraySunday, May 27th 2007 11:59PM

One of my all time favorite shows was of you and Jonatha at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center in Santa Cruz.  I was the guy who asked for "In the Gloaming."  Anyways, hope all is well.  I'll have to pick up your new cd.  Cheers!

Cindy McKeownThursday, May 24th 2007 5:55PM

I first heard you sing at JP Unplugged (I'm married to Terry Kitchen) and I bought your CD, "Oh Hear Us" - I play this CD constantly - it reminds me of how I used to play new Joni Mitchell albums when I first got them, over and over again, getting deeper into the music and poetry - it's a gorgeous piece of work - thank you for creating it!

Looks like things are going well?! Think you'll come back to the Night Eagle? Love your music - keep up the good work! Health and happines too you!

Kudos to you and Kevin for a wonderful show for the BFF volunteers.  You were in fine voice and Kevin was fabulous, as usual.

We in your home turf are so fortunate to have such talented artists.  The question is not "when is the next great gig?", it is "which great gig do I chose".

To paraphrase a friend's lyrics, "I choose you".

maryThursday, November 16th 2006 7:32PM

Jen: you have the most beautiful voice -- and the harmonies in your arrangements and compositions bring me to my knees! I have listened to my Angel in the House CD over and over since I first got it in 1995... and it still sounds so beautiful in 2006. Your voice touches something inside me - it is haunting and angelic. It pierces through the layers of gook (yuck) in the universe and opens the skies to let beauty shine through.... I was SOOO excited to accidentally stumble upon this website and see that you are still making music. What a delight for me! I just assumed that Jonatha went out on her own and I'd never get to hear your voice again. I never thought to research it on the web... until today! I am so excited to be able to hear your voice doing new things (since I've been out of the loop, apparently!) - and share it with everyone I know who can appreciate your exquisite sound. It's like a brand new adventure for me ~ Thank you for sharing with us.

Great show at Makor on Sat. night! It was good to see you playing in NYC again; hope you can make it down here more often. Glad to hear that some of your family could come to the show.

I'm really enjoying the new CD and Assorted Macaroons. Best of luck in your new roles as mother, wife, and record-label mogul! Looking forward to seeing you perform again, Dave B

We are sisters.  We come to Florida every February to relax and listen to The Beach 98.9 in Port Charlotte, FL.  Your song, "Can't Climb Up" gets lots and lots of radio play.  We love it!  Now, we plan to find out what the rest of Jennifer Kimball's music is like.

We recieved one of the 2 cd's this x-mas eve..."Assorted Macaroons" and I can't think of a better gift!!!! It is spectacular!! I have always felt a little left out/jealous of your east coast loop whilst living in the wilds of Northern Michigan but this live cd really brings us closer to one of our favorite artists. "Veering" is my favorite ipod album while walking/veering through the crowds on Mackinac Island. "Veering" is a perfect soundtrack to the hustle and bustle of unfamiliar faces. It brings to life the soul and spirit of each and every face. I can't wait to hear the new album!! Best wishes and luck to you Jennifer! You are awesome! Jeff
