Meet The Kimbles

Following the release of their debut EP, the Austin-based band performed original music throughout the City of Austin, while their top jazz single, Dear Freddie, went viral on YouTube with 1M+ views. Following this success, the band began composing new songs to continue sharing their creativity and message of love with their fans. These songs culminated in Meet The Kimbles, a diverse collection of rock and jazz compositions, which was largely funded by The Kimbles' loyal fan base. The band launched a fan-funding campaign in Spring 2013, spread the word, and their fans heeded the call, exceeding the goal with time to spare. With plenty of funding, the band headed to Estuary Recording Facility in Austin, TX. Musically, The Kimbles both polished and expanded their approach, retaining their rich, uplifting sound on Babaji, a funky groove tune which calls to mind Kenny Dorham, and Black Russian, a slower minor key gem with a deep pocket. Dear Old Stockholm, one of only two covers recorded, is a magical interpretation of the Swedish folk song recorded by jazz giants such as Miles Davis and John Coltrane. To contrast Disc Two's jazz styles, Disc One is an eclectic tour around the world of rock, with the upbeat Can't You See paying homage to ska and Jamaican styles and On Being Free exploring Middle Eastern sounds with high virtuosity. Stories paints a beautiful landscape, celebrating nature with an intoxicating melody. In scope, palette, and composition, 'Meet The Kimbles' is a more daring and successful leap for a band that already kickstarted their career with a promising debut. The Kimbles features Kelsey Kimble - vocals, Austin Kimble - piano & vocals, Daniel Durham - acoustic bass and electric bass, Adam Galvan - drums, Wayne Salzmann II - drums.
