Warren (D.) Kimmel always gives us something to think about. When he casts his observant eye on life, we see ourselves in a perceptive turn of phrase and laugh in recognition. Warren sings about the strange or sublime shape relationships can take, the hard truths we often face as human beings and the obstacles we overcome that invariably come around again. And he keeps us rocking all the while. Warren's music offers us a unique, intimate look into the heart and mind of a thoughtful, intelligent soul able to find the wisdom in our lighter moments and the humor in our darker ones.
Warren is a New York based guitarist and singer-songwriter who released his highly anticipated debut album, Zen Roses, in March 2006. The acoustic-driven rock album showcases his signature blend of insightful lyrics and memorable melodies wonderfully joined with the full sound of a band of talented musicians. The album also represents his first experience with mixing and co-producing his own record.
Warren has written and played music since he was 9 years old, having come from a musical family. Aside from performing his own music in the New York area, he has also played and written with a number of groups and artists including Verb, The Molly Magoonis Band, Bag One, Lauren Echo, and Black and White Cookies, a fledgling acoustic project with singer and songwriter Billy Davis. In 2003 he collaborated with David Spritzer to compose the soundtrack for "The Understudy," a short film produced by Aunt Agony Films for the Midnight Madness Film Festival.
Warren's first solo album, Zen Roses, is available at cdbaby.com (www.cdbaby.com/cd/warrendkimmel) and on iTunes.

This year, I’ll be donating 25% of download proceeds from my new record “Hold the Sun”, and 2005’s “hiding underneath” to LifeBEAT (a Music Fights AIDS organization out of NYC) and to heart disease causes (my grandfather died of heart disease a couple years ago…so in his honor/memory…) If you want, fill up your iPod for a good cause ☺ And check out “Hold the Sun” if you haven’t already- just click the purple links at top and bottom of the banner below!
