<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a>I just went back from my last blog in 2014 to April 2, 2007 to read my first blog - WOW lot of energy in those blogs!- this is a book of who's who and what was what in my music career - very cool! Thank you to all who have shared their gifts by being involved/included in so many of these events/occasions: concerts, restaurant gigs, Christian Music Nights, weddings, fundraisers, recording sessions, Living Room Concerts, singing telegrams, masses, retreats - I have been blessed by many and will continue to share my gift of music as long as it's there for the sharing! <br />
<br />
We are currently working on a new web site...so the next time you look me up on the web, hopefully you'll see it (shooting for the end of this year).<br />
<br />
No new CDs in the works just yet. CDs are still available through this site and my appearances/performances.<br />
<br />
I am, as always, still available for out of town engagements. Please contact me or fill out the inquiry form on this site if you have interest.<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas!<br />
<br />

Someone visiting recently reminded me that I hadn't "blogged" in awhile - it seems the last blog was Feb - which is about when the idea of doing another project came to mind and I was wisked away into the frenzy of the studio: rehearsals, song selection, production, graphics, printing and of course I was also scheduling the summer at the same time so forgive me if it seems to have been placed on the back burner - during the summer I spent more time on Facebook ...but I back! </div>

This summer's bookings included the Dream Wedding for the Outer Banks Wedding Association pictured here with Leslie Erickson from Club Violin - when you don't see me at the 5pm mass at Holy Redeemer on Saturday nights, this is what I'm usually doing: a wedding. This wedding was at the Whalehead Club in Corolla - beautiful day!<div>

and for those who were a part of the Christian Music Summer Concert Series by way of donating time and talent or by donating their treasure to the love offering which was donated in turn to the Beach Food Pantry and Interfaith Community Outreach (ICO), above is a photo that recently ran in the local Outer Banks paper, the Coastland Times: Jennifer Albanesee, Exec Dir. of ICO, yours truly and Kathy McCullough-Testa, Exec Dir. of the Beach Food Pantry (just named non-profit of the year).</div>
<div>
This was the summer we surpassed my goal of $10,000 since inception in 2009 (this was our 6th summer) - $10,732 has been split equally between the 2 charities - doing what we are called to do - give back to the community - I am honored and proud to be a member! thank you participating musicians, sponsors & supporters!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's alway great to see everyone when the sun is shining - if you visited the Outer Banks, thanks for brightening my summer!</div>

<br />
I had a great road trip to Southport NC for a living room concert, and a workshop and liturgy @ St Brendan's Church in Shallotte, NC. Great seeing friends from way back (you know who you are!) and meeting new ones - thanks to all who brought those gatherings together!<br />
Enjoyed family time in Florida w/my folks and both my sisters - even got to watch the Super Bowl!<br />
and another terrific weekend at the First Presbyterian Church in Auburndale - again spending time w/friends from even further back than I can remember and meeting new smiling faces at Saturday's dinner party and Sunday's service.<br />
Next road trip is Valentine's Day Feb 14 to VA Beach for the Lighthouse Center Volunteers of America fundraiser 7pm @ Holy Family Church - see my web site calendar for more info.<br />
Feb 21 Friday Deltaville VA 7pm fundraiser for the Volunteer Fire Dept - again my web site calendar has more info<br />
communities coming together to show their love and support for each other....<br />
you have a few days to remember who to show love and support....<br />
to all who are reading this - thank you for your love and support - consider yourself loved back!<br />
Happy Valentine's<br />

The summer was, as usual, BUSY! with weddings, restaurant singing, living room concerts and the Christian Music Summer Concert Series which raised over $2000 to be donated to ICO (Interfaith Community Outreach) and our local Beach Food Pantry. I am still singing at some local venues (see my web calendar) and will start traveling to places near and far during our off season (now thru May). If you are interested in booking me for a LIVING ROOM CONCERT and/or CHURCH CONCERT, or SPECIAL EVENT, please contact me asap so we can get your date scheduled.<br />

Thank yous to all who joined me and to Ginny & Pastor Ray for the invite to be there & Jennifer for making yummy sandwiches!<br />
The Room has different Christian acts every Friday night (sound familiar?) - check it out on the web and FB.<br />
<br />
Saturday I was back "home" so to speak at St Olafs in Norge (outside of Williamsburg) providing music for a Women's day of reflection/workshop facilitated by Pat Bowers and Jane Moore...70 strong singing, vocal, praying women - great day! Thank yous to Nancy, Terry, the Women's Social Group of St Olaf's and all who volunteered their time and energy.<br />
<br />
If your church is interested in hosting us (Pat, Jane & me) for a workshop or just me for a concert, email kim@kimkalman.com or call me 252-489-8724. We are booking for the Fall of 2013 &<br />
Spring of 2014.<br />
<br />
AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS is flying off my CD table - my thumb is actually sore from opening the CD packaging to sign the cover! You can get your copy from my web site, at Holy Redeemer when I'm there or at any of my appearances.<br />
<br />
If your church might be looking for a fund raising idea, please consider my CDs. Contact me to discuss.<br />
<br />

<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
I sent you an e-mail to let you know</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
how much I love the new CD. Listening to it now I love the songs where people are harmonizing with you. In my opinion it just enhances the beauty of your voice . Your beautiful voice stands on its own. I love the violin . This gets 10 stars and a big AMEN 😍!! Beautifully done! Va.</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Calling all/any musicians who are interested in participating in the OBX Christian Music Summer Concert Series. This is our 5th year! Our mission is to bring good Christian music to our locals and visitors OUTSIDE of our churches with the hope that those who don't like being in a church or who can't get to a church service can experience God and fellowship. We take up a love offering weekly which benefits Interfaith Community Outreach (of which 50+ local church communities belong) and our Beach Food Pantry. As OBX Christian musicians we have raised $6660 since the start of this series just by doing what we are called to do: make a joyful noise!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
This is a great example of God planting a seed and the "yes" blossoming into blessings for the whole community. I hope you can join us this year to continue sharing the blessings of your ministry!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Below are the dates available. Please let me know which date or dates will work for you and how much time you'd like. Set times will be between 15 - 45 minutes (bands will have up to 45 minutes). </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
The program starts at 7pm on Mondays, Memorial Day thru Labor Day. I'll have equipment set up. You'll need to have any additional heavy/large equipment set up before 7pm if I don't have what you need i.e. bass amps, keyboards, drums.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
We will be at the Good Life Eatery in Kitty Hawk MP 4.5 again this year.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
If you know of any musicians who you think might be interested in joining us, please let me know or share this with them.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
Thank you!</div>

A week in Nashville at Direct Image Recording Studio w/my award winning producer, engineer, vocal coach Kenny Royster - we finished the vocals for the new Christian CD (un-named at the current time). Kenny produced my first CD, Moonlight, over 10 years ago and the rest of my CDs since then. It is always a learning experience working w/Kenny and I am grateful for his experience, patience, wisdom - and sense of humor :) - thank you Brother Kenny! </div>

Also in the studio this week were my vocalists Vicki Hampton, Kim Fleming & Robert Bailey. </div>
<div>
We have worked together since my Close CD. They were in-house Thursday adding music, love and life to the CD. We had a great day and they sounded awesome - wait til you hear!</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On Friday, new-to-my-team vocalist Tania Hancheroff added her warmth and energy to the project - beautiful Tania - thank you!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have the weekend off, so I slept in, am eating real meals, enjoying the company of friends and will even watch the Super Bowl (we might get more snow!)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Next week I'll be back in the studio with Kenny mixing, watching, listening and tweaking. The music is sounding great, beginning to take shape and I'm getting excited to have you enjoy the fruits of our labor! I am grateful for the material, all involved lending their time and talent and the opportunity to share the gifts!</div>
