Kim Jarrett
**10th Annual Great American Song Contest Award Winner (2008)**
A lover of love songs, harmonies and 70s rock, Kim Jarrett's music has been called real, her voice stellar and her songs excellent, by reviewers and fans. Often compared to artists such as Carole King, Fleetwood Mac, Sheryl Crow and Joni Mitchell, Kim's pervasive presence and smooth, clear voice resonates with fans of folk, blues, roots and country music across the globe.
A multi-instrumentalist and award-winning songwriter, Kim has released two independent, full-length cds and has received adult contemporary, college and CBC radio play across Canada. Her song "How Long" can be found on Philips mp3 products sold worldwide, but she's best known for her duo performances in and around Toronto with bassist/producer, Mike Costantino. Together, they perform over 100 shows a year, host weekly music nights, and can often be found in the backing bands of other local artists and songwriters. Their showcase and festival spots have so far seen them share stages with Canadian 80s pop sensations, The Spoons, and American folk darling, Melissa Ferrick.
In addition to preparing new music for release and promotional touring in 2010, Kim is currently working on some projects with other artists as a backing vocalist and drummer.
