Kim Jennings

About Me

Born in suburban Massachusetts, Kim has been singing since the ripe old age of 5. She taught herself to play piano while in middle school, but didn't pick up a guitar until after college. Driving to work while in her new job as an employment counselor for adults with disabilities, she channel surfed to Emerson College’s radio station WERS, and heard the haunting and heartbreaking song “Iowa (Traveling III)” by Dar Williams. Inspired, Kim decided right then and there that she would learn to play guitar and start writing music.

Kim spent her first couple of years as a “singer/songwriter” performing – under her maiden name, Kim Flynn – at open mike nights in coffeehouses near her hometown in the suburbs of Boston. And then, life happened: career change, marriage, and motherhood. Re-inspired by the writing talent and collaboration happening in the Greater Boston area folk music community, she is writing new songs and recording her first full-length CD.

Kim's homemade EP "Draft" is now available at live shows.
